## Summary

Wythenshawe Community Housing Group Limited is seeking to establish a Building Works Open Framework, encompassing building installation and completion work. This tender, currently in the active stage, is open under the procurement method of an open procedure, which allows for open competition. The procurement is structured as a framework agreement, aimed at quality allocation only, with a gross value of £14,400,000. The project will be implemented across multiple regions in the United Kingdom. Key deadlines include the enquiry period ending on 10th March 2026, and the tender submission deadline on 16th March 2026. The associated framework agreement will remain valid until 31st May 2034, allowing for potential renewal extensions.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for a diverse range of businesses, especially small and medium enterprises in the construction and maintenance sectors. With the requirement for general building services, voids repair, maintenance, and specific service-oriented works, there is a broad spectrum of opportunities suited for both general contractors and specialists, such as those involved in glazing, flooring, and brickwork. Additionally, the focus on planned investment works, including kitchen, bathroom, door, and window replacements, provides further avenues for sustained business growth. Contractors that can demonstrate a commitment to quality and efficiency will find this framework especially beneficial, offering long-term engagement opportunities within the public authority sector.
