The framework will cater to DWP’s extensive estate, comprising over 700 properties across England, Scotland, and Wales, and will also be available to other government departments and public sector bodies. This procurement is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 7 September 2017. The expected total value of this contract is £3.75 billion, and it will follow a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction and refurbishment projects, especially those with experience in minor works and building services. Suitable candidates include SMEs that can provide agile and efficient responses to the needs of the public sector, specifically businesses that can manage projects in various locations across the UK, including retail-style service settings. Participation in this framework will enable successful bidders to engage with a consistent stream of work from governmental bodies well into 2022, allowing for potential growth and stability in their operations. ## Notice DWP is looking to put in place prior to 01.04.18 a new Estates Contractor Framework providing Minor Works & Capital Projects together with all ancillary & incidental works and/or services to cater for DWP's estate, and to be made available to other Government Departments & Public Sector bodies who have a similar estate type & profile of project requirements as DWP's (detailed further in VI.3).
