Provision of professional services for construction contracts
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council · Local authority
In brief
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has announced plans to buy architecture and engineering 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 £15,000,000 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.
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.

Competition
Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 10 awards in the last 12 months).
Dynamic purchasing system
Suppliers join a list the buyer can call on. You can usually apply at any time while it is open, and work is awarded later through smaller competitions between members.
