The tender is titled "Development Contractors Framework 2028-33," focusing on construction work within the regions of Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, London, Devon, and Cornwall, as well as Oxfordshire, West Sussex, and Gloucestershire. The total estimated contract value is £200 million. The framework agreement begins in April 2028 and is planned to last until March 2033, with a preliminary notice expected by April 2027.
