## Summary

Manchester City Council is planning a medium-value construction framework covering building works and related services across the North West of England. The potential work spans public-sector and commercial buildings, including schools, colleges, university and research facilities, healthcare and social-care buildings, housing, offices, warehouses, industrial units, transport buildings and public realm. Other examples include civic and community facilities, libraries, museums, theatres, markets, airports, bus stations and car parks. The scope includes site preparation, construction and civil engineering, building installation and completion, as well as real-estate, architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. This is a broad programme of building and associated works rather than a single-site project; the planned framework is titled for the North West Construction Hub.

The process is at planning: Manchester City Council has set out its intention to procure a framework, and this is not an invitation to tender. The buyer indicates a framework running from 31 August 2027 to 30 August 2030, with a possible extension taking it to 29 August 2031. A supplier engagement event is planned for 10 November 2026, from 2pm to 3pm. Suppliers are asked to contact the council by 3pm on 6 November 2026 to take part. The procurement is marked as above the applicable threshold, but no estimated monetary value or procedure is stated. No evaluation basis is set out at this planning stage.

The planned framework may be relevant to construction contractors able to deliver building projects across a varied public-sector estate, from education, healthcare and housing to transport, civic, commercial and industrial facilities. The breadth of the listed work also makes it relevant to firms specialising in site preparation, civil engineering, building services installation, finishing and completion, or associated architectural, engineering, inspection and property services. Suppliers with experience delivering different types of buildings and public realm works across the North West may find the scope particularly relevant. The buyer has not yet set out specific technical qualifications, accreditations, staffing requirements or capacity thresholds, so firms can use the planned market-engagement event to understand the intended framework and feed in relevant market expertise before the procurement reaches tender.
