Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 13 active published awards; 4 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought

Bidders will have the opportunity to bid on any of the four lots: Lot 1 Services (Legal Advisory Services) - maximum 4 bidders will be appointed to this lot. Lot 2 Services (Asset Management) - maximum 6 bidders will be appointed to this lot. Lot 3 Services (Real Estate) - maximum 3 bidders will be appointed to this lot. Lot 4 Services (Schemes in Assessment) - maximum 3 bidders will be appointed to this lot. The new panel will be live from Monday 2nd February 2026 and successfully appointed Bidders must be capable of commencing services from this date. The contract term will be for an initial term of 24-months with two optional extension periods of 12-months each to take the maximum possible term to 48 months (2+1+1). This notice is linked to a UK2 - Early Market Engagement Notice, with the below reference numbers. There appears to be a validation bug where we're unable to link the UK2 notice with this UK4 - Tender Opportunity notice, which we are raising with BravoSolutions. Notice number: 2025/S 000-011208 Procedure ID: ocds-h6vhtk-04f8a3 Notice reference 2025-041381
