Pre Market Engagement - Asbestos Management Services - Request for Information

Home Group · Local or regional public body

In brief

Home Group has announced plans to buy architecture and engineering and waste 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 £4,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

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

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 6 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 £4,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
