Summary of the contracting process

Concertus Suffolk Limited is procuring a multi-supplier construction and building services framework for public-sector projects. Construction work includes refurbishment, remodelling, extensions, demolition, new build and development, with projects grouped by size and geography. Building services include mechanical and electrical installation and maintenance, such as heating, solar photovoltaic and electric-vehicle systems. The framework also covers construction materials, site preparation, building completion, equipment hire, and architectural, engineering, inspection and property services. Work is to be delivered across East Anglia and the Home Counties, the East and West Midlands, the West Country, and the Central Belt of England. Public authorities, public undertakings and private utilities can use the framework for projects in the relevant locations.

The buyer invited offers through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure: suppliers first complete a selection questionnaire and procurement-specific questions, followed by an invitation to tender for those shortlisted. The framework has seven lots: five construction lots covering projects from under £2 million to major schemes above £12 million, and two building-services lots for projects up to £3 million. The stated overall value is £1 billion excluding VAT. The framework period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2031. Questions were due by 23 October 2026 at 17:00; expressions of interest by 5 November 2026 at 09:00 UTC. Award was scheduled by 21 April 2027. Evaluation in each lot weights quality at 70% and commercial response at 30%.

The framework offers routes to public-sector construction and building-services work across several English regions, with opportunities ranging from smaller refurbishment and installation projects to complex builds and major development schemes. It is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and suppliers can apply for the lots that match their trade, geographical reach and delivery scale. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate relevant technical and financial capacity, meet the Common Assessment Standard and pass the lot-specific minimum requirements and procurement questions. The first-stage questions require a minimum overall score of 50%, with shortlisting limits varying by lot. Suppliers should be able to deliver high-quality work as well as competitive pricing; call-offs may be competed or awarded directly, and may use standard or project-specific contract terms.
