These lots include Architectural Services, Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Consultancy, Principal Designer/Building Regulations, Interior Design, and Structural/Drainage/Civils/Infrastructure. This procurement is valued at a gross amount of £7.2 million and is anticipated to conclude with contracts starting on 1st August 2026 and ending on 31st July 2030. Businesses interested in engaging with this opportunity can engage with pre-market activities, including virtual presentations and Q&A sessions, to better understand the scope and procurement process before the Selection Stage Questionnaire and Invitation to Tender are released.

Companies offering services related to advisory architecture, civil engineering, transport systems consultancy, mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering, building consultancy, health and safety consultancy, construction consultancy, and interior design will find this framework particularly relevant.
