Buyer: ASSOCIATED BRITISH PORTS →
The Contracting Authority intends to establish a multi‑supplier Professional Services Framework to support a broad range of project, engineering, property, and specialist advisory requirements across its operations. The framework will enable the delivery of services in support of major capital projects, regional investment programmes, and property-related activities, providing access to a diverse and capable supply chain. The requirement includes, but is not limited to: Project and programme management services Design and engineering services Architectural services Planning and consent support Property and asset-related consultancy Specialist technical advisory services The framework will be structured into multiple Lots and Sub‑Lots, including both national and regional delivery models, to ensure appropriate alignment of supplier capability with project scale, complexity, and geographic requirements. Regional elements are intended to support local supplier participation and SME engagement, alongside larger national providers. The framework is expected to operate as an open framework arrangement, with the potential for periodic re‑opening to introduce additional suppliers and maintain competitive tension over its duration.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 70. The category anchor is Real estate agency services on a fee or contract basis (70300000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |

| Market: CPV division 70 | 726 | 3 median · 49.2 average (180 of 726 with a bid count) | 3.6 average (208 of 726 with named award suppliers) | Not published |

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

"description": "The Contracting Authority intends to establish a multi‑supplier Professional Services Framework to support a broad range of project, engineering, property, and specialist advisory requirements across its operations.\nThe framework will enable the delivery of services in support of major capital projects, regional investment programmes, and property-related activities, providing access to a diverse and capable supply chain. The requirement includes, but is not limited to:\nProject and programme management services\nDesign and engineering services\nArchitectural services\nPlanning and consent support\nProperty and asset-related consultancy\nSpecialist technical advisory services\nThe framework will be structured into multiple Lots and Sub‑Lots, including both national and regional delivery models, to ensure appropriate alignment of supplier capability with project scale, complexity, and geographic requirements. Regional elements are intended to support local supplier participation and SME engagement, alongside larger national providers.\nThe framework is expected to operate as an open framework arrangement, with the potential for periodic re‑opening to introduce additional suppliers and maintain competitive tension over its duration.",
