## Description
Cumberland Council is seeking feedback from the market to inform the development of a closed Professional Services Framework with a 4 year term to provide multi disciplinary services focused upon supporting delivery of the Council's capital, regeneration, infrastructure and property programmes.
The establishment of any future framework remains subject to the Council's internal governance and approval processes. Participation in this pre-market engagement exercise should not be interpreted as a commitment by the Council to proceed with the procurement, and there is no guarantee that a framework will ultimately be approved or established.
Participation in this engagement exercise will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process. While all feedback received will be carefully considered, the Council reserves the right to determine the final procurement approach and may elect not to adopt some or all of the suggestions put forward.
