This initiative focuses on engaging potential service providers for Construction Management Services in the renewable energy sector, covering projects such as solar and wind energy across the United Kingdom, primarily based in Aberdeen, Scotland. The current phase involves early market engagement, with a scheduled online presentation on 19th June 2026. This event aims to refine the scope and clarify the potential tender's requirements, with registrations accepted up to 17th June 2026. This procurement process presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in construction management within the renewable energy industry. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in managing complex energy projects, including Health, Safety, Environmental oversight, and contract administration, would be well-suited to participate. The tender is particularly relevant to firms able to provide comprehensive management services and those with a presence or interest in the Aberdeen market. With an anticipated project commencement in the forthcoming years, this offers a valuable chance for growth and collaboration in an evolving sector, contributing to the UK's clean energy transition and energy independence initiatives. ## Notice Early Market Engagement Event for discussion on the Provision of Construction Management Services/Client Representative Services About the Organisation Great British Energy (GBE) is a new publicly owned energy company with a clear purpose: to power Britain with clean, secure, home-grown energy and to help position the UK as a global leader in the clean energy transition. Our mission is Public Ownership of Energy with Purpose. We exist to accelerate clean energy deployment, strengthen energy security, and ensure that UK workers, communities and taxpayers share directly in the benefits of a cleaner, more resilient energy system. GBE will invest in, develop, build and operate the technologies the UK needs to increase energy independence, while giving communities a direct stake in the transition. GBE is being built to last - our ambition is to become a lasting national institution the public can be proud of, and a developer, constructor and owner of energy that is Clean, Secure and Yours. From our base in Aberdeen, we are establishing GBE as a cornerstone of the UK's energy landscape. The Great British Energy Act, which received Royal Assent in May 2025, provided for the UK's first publicly owned national energy company to develop, own and operate energy assets since the privatisation of the Central Electricity Generating Board in the early 1990s. The 2025 Spending Review allocated GBE and GBE Nuclear over PS8.3 billion to deploy towards our missions of delivering clean energy for the people. More details can be found in the Great British Energy founding statement. The Opportunity GBE are looking to identify companies that can act on their behalf in the management of renewable energy projects, including but not limited to solar, onshore/offshore wind and storage (BESS, LDES and pumped hydro) to deliver its Strategic Plan which is available here: https://www.gbe.gov.uk/strategic-plan-2025-html The successful company will be our Construction Management Partner, acting as the Employer on our behalf, helping us to ensure that the projects are delivered safely, in accordance with all legal and regulatory requirements, to a high quality, in line with the approved programme, within the approved budget and in accordance with the Employer's Requirements, planning conditions, grid requirements and all contract obligations. The services would cover from immediately Post-FID to energisation and operational handover. It is likely that some will be Multi-Contract Delivery, with others being EPC contracts. This will be a project-by project decision. GBE's overall plan is still forming, but anticipate construction to commence over the next few years. Details of the tenders will be discussed further into the process, however details on individual projects in particular will not be provided due to their confidentiality. In terms of the general services which could be required, the following (non-exhaustive) list indicates what we could expect to include and wish to explore with the market: 1. HSE/CDM/Environmental oversight on behalf of the employer, whilst acknowledging that the Employer's statutory client duties remain with the Employer and cannot be delegated. 2. Pre-Construction Services, including developing the Construction Execution Plan. 3. Construction Phase Services, including site based and non-site aspects, package management, programme, risks, compliance, quality and safety monitoring. 4. Handover and Close-Out Services, including overseeing snagging, handover, documentation review, close out reports and lessons learned. 5. Contractual and Contract Administration Support. We would like to explore with the market the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of one organisation, or consortium, providing all of these Management Services. We would like to explore with the market the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of one organisation, or consortium, providing all of these Management Services. We want to explore if these services are reflective of our needs and or what additional considerations should we have to develop good specifications and contracts which are beneficial to all parties involved. We also want to explore the Aberdeen market presence or benefits an appointed supplier could bring to our neighbours. Future Procurement The purpose of hosting a market engagement event is to inform GBE considerations for potential future service delivery which may or may not result in a procurement opportunity. Procurement route, value, as well as duration values detailed in this notice are all indicative and are subject to review based on the views gathered as part of this Early Market Engagement and should not be relied upon. ### Planning Information Early Market Engagement GBE are considering its options for these services and want to engage with experienced organisations who can identify questions GBE will need to consider to provide clarity and further refine the scope of any services which may then go out to tender. GBE are intending to run an online presentation on 19th June at 11:00 BST. This presentation will outline current thinking and approaches as well as identify questions GBE wish to put to the market to gain feedback on its approach. Following the meeting there will likely be a questionnaire sent out to attendees to gather opinions and further follow up meetings with respondents may be considered. If you wish to attend this meeting, then please register here: https://forms.office.com/e/jnQeZGMXWa To note, we will take registrations up to 17:00 BST on 18th June. We will endeavour to manage any later registrations prior to the event, but after this time we may not be able to accommodate. We will not be recording the meeting so if you are unable to attend but wish to participate in the questionnaire, then please review the form above for this option. Please note that this event will focus on the Construction Management Services identified above and not on opportunities for specialist contractors whose services could be used for part of the delivery, e.g. ground works, piling sub-contractors or technology providers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053474-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Aug 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Sep 2026 - 30 Sep 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREAT BRITISH ENERGY | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Post town | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB10 1BJ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | Midstocket/Rosemount | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71540000 - Construction management services ## Release History - 5 Jun 2026 at 14:54 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053474-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053474-2026 5th June 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://forms.office.com/e/jnQeZGMXWa - https://www.gbe.gov.uk/ - https://www.gbe.gov.uk/strategic-plan-2025-html - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
