## Summary

Reading Borough Council intends to procure employer’s agent and multidisciplinary professional consultancy services for projects across its property portfolio. The work will support the planning, procurement, delivery and post-completion administration of construction, refurbishment, compliance and asset-related projects. This is a professional construction and engineering consultancy requirement, classified under CPV 71310000 for consultative engineering and construction services. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work will be delivered across its property portfolio in Reading. Suppliers should be able to provide employer’s agent services alongside a suitably broad range of professional disciplines, supporting projects from early planning through procurement, delivery and completion. The requirement covers both construction activity and the ongoing compliance and management of council assets.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Reading Borough Council has announced its intention to procure and has not invited tenders. The council expects to use a selective procedure, with an award under a competitive framework. The planned contract is above the relevant threshold and is organised as one lot. The stated contract period is expected to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. The lot is currently planned rather than awarded. The procurement concerns access to a corporate service, so suppliers should prepare for a framework-based competition rather than a direct contract award. The opportunity is expected to cover the full employer’s agent and multidisciplinary consultancy requirement for the council’s construction, refurbishment, compliance and asset-related programme.

This requirement is likely to suit small and medium-sized consultancies with employer’s agent capability and a multidisciplinary professional services offer. Relevant firms will be those able to advise across the project lifecycle, including planning, procurement, construction delivery and post-completion administration. Experience supporting construction and refurbishment programmes, compliance activity and property or asset-related projects would place suppliers well for the requirement described. The council is seeking corporate access to consultancy capacity across its property portfolio, so businesses should consider how they would provide coordinated, repeatable support across a varied programme rather than a single project. Firms may also wish to identify delivery partners or complementary disciplines needed to provide a genuinely multidisciplinary service when the competitive framework procurement reaches the market.

## Notice

Reading Borough Council (RBC) requires access to a corporate Employer's Agent (EA) and multidisciplinary professional consultancy service to support the planning, procurement, delivery and post-completion administration of construction, refurbishment, compliance and asset-related projects across the Council's property portfolio.
