Burnley Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Burnley Borough Council is looking for suppliers for construction and building maintenance work (North West).

It is a framework worth up to £50,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 April 2027.

It is split into 5 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

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

Bids close at 5pm, Tuesday 17 November 2026.

What the notice says

Burnley Borough Council is preparing to procure three new, related frameworks to cover its maintenance, construction and professional services requirements across its estate: the Reactive Maintenance Framework, the Planned & Capital Works Framework, and the Professional Services Framework. Each framework has a different purpose, supplier profile and award mechanism, but together they are intended to give the Council a joined-up route to market for the full lifecycle of its property-related work - from a day-to-day repair to a major capital scheme and the professional advice that supports it. This Planned Works Council wishes to appoint a number of Contractors across five (5) Lots. The intention is to enter into the Planned & Capital Works Framework agreement in April 2027 for a period of four years. The scope of Services to be delivered under the Framework Agreement will cover larger value planned, structural and capital project works across the estate, including historical/listed buildings, mechanical & electrical capital works, and extensions/groundworks projects. Lot 1 General & Structural Lot 2 Historical Building Work Lot 3 Mechanical Works Lot 4 Electrical Works Lot 5 External Works / Groundworks
