Published requirement description

Contract Award Notice<br/><br/>Title: Parliamentary Construction Partnership (CPF) Framework<br/><br/>Authority Name: The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons (acting jointly)<br/><br/>Description of the Procurement:<br/>The Authority have awarded a new Parliamentary Construction Partnership (CPF) Framework Agreement. This Framework has been established to support the continued delivery of capital investment and capital maintenance projects across the Parliamentary Estate, in support of the Medium-Term Investment Plan (MTIP).<br/>The Parliamentary Estate comprises over 250,000m² of floor space, with approximately 70% of the buildings designated as ‘Listed’, including the Palace of Westminster and Norman Shaw North, both of which are Grade I Listed and of exceptional heritage value. The Palace of Westminster is also recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br/>In their role as custodians of this nationally significant heritage estate, the Corporate Officers are discharging their duties of care to preserve and maintain the infrastructure, including mechanical, electrical, public health, fire and safety systems, building fabric, stonework, and roofing, to ensure a safe and secure environment for all users of the Estate.<br/>The new CPF Framework supersedes the previous Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health and Fabric Safety (MEPFS) Framework and has been informed by operational experience, stakeholder engagement, and lessons learned. It is designed to meet the increasing demand for construction and specialist services and to enable the Strategic Estates team to deliver its growing portfolio of work.<br/><br/>Framework Scope and Named Users:<br/>The Framework will primarily support the delivery of projects led by the Strategic Estates team – the bicameral department responsible for the ongoing care, development, and infrastructure of the Parliamentary Estate. This includes project delivery, construction safety, design services, and heritage asset management.<br/>In addition, the Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd is a named user of the Framework. While the Restoration & Renewal Programme is a separate but co-ordinated programme of work, the Delivery Authority may draw on the CPF Framework to support its future activities. It is also noted that certain call-off contracts may be subject to novation to the Delivery Authority, where appropriate.<br/><br/>Contract Award Justification:<br/>This procurement was conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The establishment of the CPF Framework is a strategic enabler in maintaining capability and capacity for the Parliamentary Estate’s critical infrastructure projects, extending into the early 2030s.<br/><br/>Further Information:<br/>Further details regarding the Restoration & Renewal Programme and its governance (including the R&R Client Board and Programme Board) are available via the UK Parliament website.<br/><br/>Framework award date: 15 October 2025<br/><br/>Joint Procurement: Yes - Authority Name: The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons (acting jointly).

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “FWK1150 Parliamentary Construction Partnership Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 16 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: The Authority has established a multi-lot Framework Agreement to appoint contractors with the capability and capacity to lead, coordinate, and manage the delivery of works projects across the Parliamentary Estate.<br/><br/>Core works are being delivered in-house, with specialist works delivered in conjunction with contractors’ established supply chains, as part of the Framework to undertake works across the Estate. The Framework is structured as follows:<br/><br/>Lot 1 – High Value Construction Works of Mixed Discipline, typically over £50m with no upper limit defined.<br/><br/>Lot 2 – Medium Value Construction Works, consisting predominantly of Mechanical & Electrical (Public Health & Fire) Discipline, typically over £5m, but typically under £50m.<br/><br/>Lot 3 – Medium Value Construction Works, consisting predominantly of Architectural, Structural, Heritage, Roofing, and Conservational Discipline, with no lower limit, and typically up to £50m.<br/><br/>Lot 4 – Low / Minor Value Construction Works (typically Building, Fit-Out, and M&E works) Discipline, typically up to £5m.<br/><br/>An Invitation to Tender (ITT) was issued during the procurement process, providing full details of the Framework requirements.
