This framework aims to facilitate partnerships with qualified Development Partners for projects throughout England, covering construction and development across multiple sectors such as public infrastructure, education, healthcare, and more. With an estimated value of £12 billion, this open procedure targets works under the main procurement category. The plan, currently at the planning stage as of April 2026, anticipates procurement activities to begin with a future notice date of 1st June 2026. Key areas will include Development Agreements and Joint Ventures, with a focus on regional delivery through collaborations with local partners across various UK regions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, real estate development, civil engineering consultancy, and related fields to grow and expand their offerings within the public sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, especially those with regional market knowledge and existing supply chain connections. The framework's flexible lotting structure, including Direct Award and Mini Competition mechanisms, allows diverse participation from entities capable of delivering comprehensive development solutions across a range of public assets and services. ## Notice The Framework is intended to provide Public Sector Contracting Authorities with access to suitably qualified Development Partners capable of supporting projects across the full development lifecycle. The Framework is expected to support: early-stage feasibility and pre-development activities, developer-led delivery of public sector assets, and long-term regeneration and investment partnerships. The Framework is expected to include a range of delivery models, including: Development Agreements (DA), Joint Ventures (JV) and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV), and pre-development and feasibility support services. The Framework will be structured on a regional basis across England, aligned with established English regions (based on NUTS codes), enabling delivery through locally experienced partners with knowledge of regional markets and supply chains. Potential Framework users may therefore include but are not limited to: Local authorities and Combined Authorities, NHS Trusts and NHS Organisations, Universities and Further Education Institutions, Housing Associations, as well as other Public Bodies with land or regeneration objectives. The Framework will provide Contracting Authorities with the ability to process appointments using both Direct Award and/or Mini Competition mechanisms. The Framework's lotting structure is anticipated to include: Development Agreements (DA) - Delivery-focused arrangements where the public sector retains ownership.
