The £80 billion (US$101.7 billion) framework is called ‘Construction Works and Associated Services including Healthcare and Offsite Solutions’.
In addition to government departments, it will also apply to other UK public sector bodies and special purpose vehicles in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in areas such as health, education, culture, media and sport, local communities and housing, defence, security and infrastructure.
A prior information notice about the framework indicated that market engagement with contractors and suppliers interested in bidding for work would start in January 2025.
A contract notice is expected to be published on 21 January 2026 and the framework would run for a total of 87 months, including a three-month mobilization period.
