Murphy & Sons has issued an active tender seeking expressions of interest for a regional framework across England, focusing on civil engineering support services. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with a selective call-off method from an existing framework agreement. Interested suppliers must express interest by 21st July 2026.

The contract period spans from 14th August 2026 to 11th August 2028, and the total value of this opportunity is estimated at £1,000,000.
