Premarket Engagement - PfH Professional Services and Recruitment Framework

Procurement for Housing · Housing

In brief

Procurement for Housing has announced plans to buy IT and software and healthcare 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 £60,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 February 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 12 bids per contract for this buyer (from 21 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 £60,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
