Capital Works Framework

Bracknell Forest Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Bracknell Forest Borough Council has announced plans to buy construction 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 £80,000,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 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 10 bids per contract for this buyer (from 8 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 £80,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Council intends to establish a framework of building contractors to support capital works for both the Council's corporate estate and schools the Council is supporting. The Framework will cover a range of construction services and specialties covered under one lot with multiple suppliers. Annual spend through the Framework will typically be between £5,000,000 and £8,000,000. It is anticipated that a mix of mini competitions and direct awards will be conducted in connection to individual projects, but the precise call off methodology is still being developed by the Council.

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.
