Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council plans to establish an open framework for construction professional services and small and medium-sized works. It is intended to support the Council’s internal Capital Projects team in delivering small and medium capital projects, alongside relevant multifunctional professional services for day-to-day repairs and works to the Council’s estate. The requirement is categorised as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, covering both professional consultancy and contractor-led works. Delivery will support the Council’s estate in North Northamptonshire. The framework is being developed by a sub-central public authority and is intended to provide a route for future requirements rather than a single defined project.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Council has announced its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. The planned approach is an above-threshold open procedure to establish a framework agreement. One planned lot is currently identified, with a contract period expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2035. The Council expects to publish the next procurement notice on 23 November 2026. The lot is planned rather than awarded, and the framework’s detailed requirements and evaluation arrangements will be set out when the competition is launched. Suppliers should treat the dates as the Council’s indicative timetable, not as deadlines for responding now.

The planned framework should suit construction contractors and professional services practices able to support public-sector capital projects, estate repairs and small or medium-sized works. Relevant capabilities may include architectural, construction, engineering, inspection and related multifunctional services, as well as the practical delivery of works through contractor teams. The framework is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist firms and regional businesses as well as larger multidisciplinary providers. Businesses can prepare by reviewing their experience of delivering comparable works or consultancy for estates, their capacity to support recurring requirements, and the evidence they can provide on technical competence, quality and reliable project delivery.
