The framework will enable the delivery of services in support of major capital projects, regional investment programmes, and property-related activities, providing access to a diverse and capable supply chain. The requirement includes, but is not limited to: Project and programme management services Design and engineering services ### Architectural services ### Planning and consent support Property and asset-related consultancy ### Specialist technical advisory services The framework will be structured into multiple Lots and Sub‑Lots, including both national and regional delivery models, to ensure appropriate alignment of supplier capability with project scale, complexity, and geographic requirements. Regional elements are intended to support local supplier participation and SME engagement, alongside larger national providers. The framework is expected to operate as an open framework arrangement, with the potential for periodic re‑opening to introduce additional suppliers and maintain competitive tension over its duration. ## CPV classification Advisory architectural services Construction project management services Consultative engineering and construction services Determining and listing of quantities in construction Construction management services Procurement consultancy services Project management consultancy services Engineering services Engineering design services Architectural, engineering and surveying services Engineering design services for the construction of civil engineering works Engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings Environmental impact assessment for construction Health and safety services Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services Foundation-design services Architectural and related services Architectural design services Architectural, engineering and planning services Urban planning services Environmental planning Urban planning and landscape architectural services Legal services Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) services for construction Real estate agency services on a fee or contract basis Building rental or sale services Property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis Building-inspection services Building surveying services Marine survey services Environmental services Environmental protection Environmental issues consultancy services Environmental impact assessment other than for construction Environmental quality control services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-06bef3-2026-06-29T17:29:44+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-06bef3-2026-06-29T17:29:44+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
