In plain English
Burnley Borough Council is setting up a framework agreement to hire contractors for larger planned construction and capital works projects across its buildings, including general building work, historical building repairs, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and external/groundworks. The framework will run for four years starting April 2027, with contractors appointed across five separate lots based on their specialist area.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver larger value planned, structural and capital project works across the Council's estate • Work on historical and listed buildings, mechanical and electrical capital installations, and extensions or groundworks projects • Be available as part of a four-year framework agreement to respond to call-off orders as the Council needs work done
Lots
- General Building
- Historical Building Work
- Mechanical Works
- Electrical Works
- External Works / Groundworks
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a high-value framework (up to £50 million) aimed at established contractors. Most sole traders or very small businesses will struggle unless they are specialists in one lot (such as licensed electricians or mechanical engineers) with strong references, public liability insurance of several million pounds, and previous experience on significant commercial or public sector projects. The emphasis on larger capital works means day-to-day repair traders will not be competitive.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
