Summary of the contracting process

Arc Property Services Partnership Limited is seeking contractors for a site set-up and establishment framework supporting construction, maintenance and asset management across its operational estate, managed for Nottinghamshire County Council and other customers. Work includes setting up sites; temporary works and minor temporary roads, paths, paving and parking; maintaining and reinstating surfaces; moving and replacing loose furniture and fittings; temporary security barriers, hoardings, fences and gates; protecting internal areas; and providing general labour. The estate is spread across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Leicestershire, with Nottinghamshire the main area. This is a construction-site support service, including site preparation and temporary traffic and safety barriers.

The buyer invited offers through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure, with a pre-qualification questionnaire followed by an invitation to tender. The process reached tender; the expression-of-interest deadline was 20 October 2026 at 14:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 9 October 2026 at 23:59. The intended award decision date is 22 March 2027. The framework is planned to start on 31 May 2027 for one year, with two possible two-year extensions, giving a maximum term to 30 May 2032. Its total stated value is £850,000 including VAT, with no guaranteed work volume or value. There is one lot and the framework will appoint up to two suppliers.

The opportunity suits SMEs as well as larger contractors, particularly businesses able to mobilise across a dispersed regional estate and deliver varied site-establishment tasks as individual projects arise. Relevant capability includes temporary site works and access routes, surface maintenance and reinstatement, internal protection, moving furniture and fittings, temporary site security, and general labour. Contractors should be able to manage safe, compliant delivery, coordinate with the client and provide effective service arrangements, customer service and reporting. The buyer will assess technical capability, mobilisation, compliance management and social value alongside price. Suppliers are also expected to work collaboratively, support carbon-reduction objectives and contribute to social-value outcomes. The framework uses NEC4 terms; project work may be called off through mini-competitions or other specified processes.
