Somerset Council · Local authority
In brief
Somerset 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 £12,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 February 2027.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?
Competition
Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for this buyer (from 19 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 £12,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
