It is a framework worth up to £40,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 2 bids per contract for this buyer (from 31 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 £40,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Multi Lot framework to undertake construction professional services across the MPS estate. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is considering the procurement of a new professional services framework and is initially seeking to engage with the supply market to gain views from interested suppliers as to the likely lot structure, scope of service and key drivers of a new framework. Interested suppliers to the construction industry are invited to submit their supply market feedback as to their likely interest and the services that they may wish to offer in response to the MPS’s requirements for a new framework. The Contracting Authority in relation to this notice is the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Please see the attached Supply Market Feedback Briefing Pack and a Questionnaire for your feedback.
