UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council, a public authority within the sub-central government of the United Kingdom, is in the planning stage of a major procurement process titled "Works Framework." This open procedure is part of a strategy to establish a framework owned by Birmingham City Council, primarily focused on construction work (industry category CPV: 45000000). The procurement process is taking place within Birmingham, and significant upcoming dates include a future notice on 30 May 2026. The planned contract period spans from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2030, with the total estimated value of the procurement at £1,540,000,000 GBP. This framework agreement, valued significantly above the threshold, offers opportunities for a broad range of suppliers through its open procurement method.

The procurement of this scale presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly for those in the construction industry, with a focus on companies adept at delivering large infrastructural projects. The emphasis on an open framework and the inclusion of suitability for SMEs highlights the council's intention to encourage participation from small to medium-sized enterprises, enabling them to grow and establish a robust presence in the public sector. The "Works Framework" not only promises extensive work across multiple facets of construction but also facilitates long-term business relationships, advantageous for companies aiming to enhance their portfolio with public sector projects.
