Notice Description
The contracting authority (NESO) is considering the potential establishment of an Engineering Services framework, likely with a single supplier, to support access to specialised and scarce engineering expertise.

Any future requirement may include short-term and/or multi-year engagements to address specialist capability gaps across engineering and energy-related desk-based disciplines. Delivery models under consideration may include onshore, nearshore, and offshore resourcing approaches. The information set out in this notice is indicative only and subject to change. Any future procurement will be conducted in accordance with the applicable procurement regulations.
