Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, is planning a procurement process titled "New Development Consultants Framework." This initiative, planned with an overarching budget of £8.4 million (up to £10 million including VAT), will focus on various specialised consultancy services such as architectural, civil and structural engineering, and sustainability services. Located in Bradford, this procurement process encompasses multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, and UKE, among others. As the process is presently in the planning stage, with a commencement date for contracts on 1st August 2027 and a conclusion date on 31st July 2031, businesses should anticipate the formal tender engagement by monitoring updates on the Find a Tender Service for further notices.

The New Development Consultants Framework represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the specified consultancy sectors. The framework, which will be established through a competitive flexible procedure, is tailored for those adept in providing high-quality consultancy services attuned towards supporting the organisation’s long-term objectives in housing and care provision for later life. This presents an excellent growth prospect for firms specialising in architectural and engineering consultancy, as well as other consultancies geared towards urban planning, fire safety, and sustainable development. With the opportunity for securing long-term partnerships, it is ideal for businesses ready to deliver value in complex, multi-disciplinary environments. Potential bidders, especially small and medium-sized enterprises with expertise in these areas, are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming market engagements and tender submissions.
