In plain English

The Ministry of Justice is setting up a long-term framework to hire contractors for building maintenance, repairs, and construction work across prisons, courts, and government buildings in England, Wales, and Scotland. Individual projects under this framework will be worth up to £1 million each, with most under £500,000. You would bid for specific jobs as they come up, not for the whole framework at once.

What the buyer wants

• Provide maintenance and repair services to Ministry of Justice buildings (mainly prisons, but also courts and other government sites) • Carry out construction and project works • Supply, install and maintain systems and assets • Handle specialist or miscellaneous building-related requirements across England, Wales and Scotland

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You will be competing against large established contractors on a framework with unlimited places, so selection will depend heavily on your track record and whether you hold relevant qualifications or accreditations (such as ISO 9001 or sector-specific certifications). Being a sole trader with no track record on government contracts will make you unlikely to win work.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
