## Summary

The Dumfries and Galloway Council is conducting an active tender for the "Professional and Technical Services Framework," classified under construction consultancy services. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, following the open procedure methodology. Bids must be submitted by 15th February 2021, for a substantial contract valued at £4,000,000, which encompasses various services such as architectural, structural engineering, quantity surveying, and other technical services, spread across multiple lots. Contract durations are set for up to three years, with potential extensions for an additional year.

This procurement represents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in the construction consultancy sector, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) offering services related to engineering, architecture, and project management. Companies that possess relevant professional qualifications, such as being members of the Architects Registration Board (ARB) or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and are looking to expand their service offerings within local government contracts would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers equipped to deliver community benefits as part of their proposals may stand a better chance in the evaluation process.
