AT1471 - Scaffolding Framework

Luton Council · Local authority

In brief

Luton Council has announced plans to buy construction and building maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £11,040,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 5 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 40 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £11,040,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

This project aims to bring all spend in relation to Scaffold Services into one Open Internal Framework Agreement. The Council believes that a holistic approach will help achieve best value.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
