## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by National Energy System Operator Limited (NESO), involves planning for the future establishment of an Engineering Services framework, possibly with a single supplier. This framework aims to enhance operational efficiency by bridging gaps in specialised engineering expertise and advisory capabilities. The contracting process is currently in the planning stage, with a planned contract period from 13 August 2027 to 12 August 2032, and it may extend up to 12 August 2034. NESO, a public undertaking based in Wokingham, UK, is set to handle this procurement under the special regime for utilities, focusing primarily on engineering services. Potential suppliers should note the significant milestone, with a future notice anticipated by 13 February 2027.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses equipped with specialised engineering skills, both in desk-based and field operations within the energy sector. Companies capable of providing comprehensive engineering solutions through onshore, nearshore, or offshore resources would be well-suited to compete. The framework's potential for short-term and long-term engagements allows flexibility and diversification, encouraging businesses to leverage niche engineering expertise to grow their portfolio and strengthen their market presence. The planned framework agreement aligns with services procurement, setting the stage for innovative collaboration to meet NESO's operational needs.
