ABP Professional Services Framework

The requirement includes, but is not limited to: Project and programme management services Design and engineering services Architectural services Planning and consent support Property and asset-related consultancy Environmental advisory services The framework will be structured into multiple Lots and Sub-Lots, including both national and regional delivery models, to ensure appropriate alignment of supplier capability with project scale, complexity, and geographic requirements.
