UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The South Downs National Park Authority, a sub-central government public authority based in the United Kingdom, has initiated a procurement process inviting bids for a single supplier framework to provide professional services related to heritage assets. This tender, titled "Single Supplier Framework: Professional services for South Downs National Park Authority Heritage Assets," falls under the industry category of architectural and engineering services, with specific focuses on architectural, structural engineering, and quantity surveying services. The tender, currently at the 'active' stage and following an open procurement method with below-threshold competition, seeks a qualified provider to assist in the conversion, refurbishment, and repair of historic buildings in the region. Interested suppliers must submit their tenders electronically by 1st September 2026, with the contract period beginning on 21st September 2026 and potentially extending up to 2030.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and engineering services, particularly those with expertise in working on historic and heritage sites. Given the focus on refurbishments and repairs, firms that excel in sustainability and social value, alongside their understanding of the unique needs of projects within a National Park setting, will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework is open to such businesses and aims to foster regional business growth and development. The reliance on a single supplier framework ensures that the selected business will have consistent work, making it an attractive prospect for companies looking to expand their market presence in the public sector.
