In brief

Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust 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 £5,000,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 20 April 2026.

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