What the notice says

The contracting authority (NESO) is considering the potential establishment of an Engineering Services framework, likely with a single supplier, to support access to specialised and scarce engineering expertise. The objective is to facilitate timely access to skills, advisory capability, and delivery support to enhance operational efficiency. Any future requirement may include short-term and/or multi-year engagements to address specialist capability gaps across engineering and energy-related desk-based disciplines. Delivery models under consideration may include onshore, nearshore, and offshore resourcing approaches. The information set out in this notice is indicative only and subject to change. Any future procurement will be conducted in accordance with the applicable procurement regulations.

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.
