The contract, valued at £95,000, has been awarded to Morgan Consult and Advisory. The services fall under the industry category of Construction Management Services (CPV code 71540000). The projects include Carlisle Station Gateway, Iron Line, and Workington Gateway, and cover numerous regions across the United Kingdom including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Key dates for this procurement include an end date for the tender period on 13th December 2024, with the contract running from 3rd February 2025 to 30th November 2025. The opportunity was last updated and published on 23rd January 2025, during the award stage of the procurement process. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the construction management sector. Morgan Consult and Advisory's existing strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders make them suitable for this role, highlighting the need for specialist project management skills to drive the timely delivery of these high-profile, externally funded projects. Businesses with capabilities in project management and a thorough understanding of construction project requirements would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement opportunities in the future, especially those looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector management of infrastructure projects across various parts of the United Kingdom. ## Notice There is currently a significant gap in Project Management resource within Capital Programme Team.
