Upcoming

University of Huddersfield Professional Services Framework A (Lots 1-5)

University of Huddersfield · Education

In brief

University of Huddersfield 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 £6,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 August 2026.

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 7 bids per contract for this buyer (from 12 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 £6,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The University of Huddersfield is preparing to tender its new Professional Services (Consultant) Framework, split into 10 Lots. The first 5 Lots, to be issued in February 2026, are: Lot 1 – Architectural Services, Lot 2 – Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Consultancy, Lot 3 – Principal Designer/Building Regulations, Lot 4 – Interior Design, Lot 5 – Structural/Drainage/Civils/Infrastructure. As part of our pre-market engagement for the upcoming Professional Services Framework, we will be hosting a series of virtual presentation and Q&A sessions for any interested bidders. These sessions are designed to provide clarity on the scope of the framework, the procurement process, and the expectations for bidders prior to the release of the Selection Stage Questionnaire (SSQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITT). If you are interested in attending one of these sessions, please contact Jack Booker – Snr Category Manager ([email removed]) and copy in Ben Burhouse – Asst Category Manager ([email removed]) and a document outlining the lots and sessions dates/times will be sent to you in response over email.
