City of York Council Mechanical and Engineering Framework

City of York Council · Local authority

In brief

City of York Council has announced plans to buy construction and architecture and engineering 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 £5,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 19 October 2026.

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 11.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 6 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 £5,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

City of York Council will be procuring multiple contractors to establish a Mechanical and Engineering framework which will cover various disciplines to deliver M&E works across CYC Buildings.

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.
