The Riverside Group Limited · Public undertaking

In brief

The Riverside Group Limited is looking for suppliers for construction and heating and plumbing work (North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, London, South East).

It is a framework worth up to £6,000,000 including 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 15 December 2026.

It is split into 2 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

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