## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk is leading a proposed multidisciplinary construction consultancy framework for police and fire authorities across the East of England and parts of the South East. The services are expected to cover architecture, building surveying, quantity surveying, project and programme management, structural and civil engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, and other specialist construction consultancy. The framework is intended to give participating authorities access to professional advice and support for construction projects. The potential delivery area includes Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Kent, alongside other nearby areas. The project is being developed jointly by seven police and crime commissioner organisations, with 7F Commercial Services gathering market feedback to shape the eventual framework.

This is at the planning stage: the buyer is seeking market feedback, not inviting tenders. The expected approach is a framework agreement, but its structure, lots, call-off arrangements and procurement approach are still being informed by responses. Suppliers are invited to submit a questionnaire by 27 October 2026; this is market engagement, not a bid deadline or commitment to proceed. The buyer expects a subsequent procurement notice by 30 November 2026. If taken forward, the planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The procurement is above the relevant threshold, but no estimated contract value is stated. The proposed arrangement is intended to suit small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This preparatory engagement is relevant to construction consultancies able to provide one or more of the listed professional disciplines, including specialist firms as well as multidisciplinary practices. It offers an opportunity to influence the framework design before procurement, particularly its structure, division into lots, call-off mechanisms and procurement approach. The buyer is specifically seeking feedback on suppliers’ capability and capacity, so firms should be ready to explain which services they can deliver and at what scale. The intended framework spans multiple police and fire authorities and a broad geographic area, making it potentially relevant to suppliers with regional reach or the ability to work through partners. The stated suitability for smaller businesses and social enterprises suggests participation is not limited to large consultancies. No specific accreditations or experience requirements are set out at this stage.

## Notice

7F Commercial Services is seeking market feedback in relation to a proposed Multidisciplinary Construction Consultancy Services Framework. The Framework is anticipated to provide access to a range of professional consultancy disciplines, including but not limited to architecture, building surveying, quantity surveying, project management, programme management, structural engineering, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, and other specialist consultancy services. The purpose of this Request for Information is to gather market intelligence and obtain feedback to help inform the proposed framework structure, lotting arrangements, call-off mechanisms and procurement approach.

### Planning Information

7F Commercial Services is seeking feedback from the market to help inform the development of a proposed multidisciplinary construction consultancy services framework.
