Sustainability, Planning and Development, Actions, and Resilient Knowledge (SPARK) services Framework
Authority: London Legacy Development Corporation (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) intends to establish a new Sustainability, Planning and Development, Actions, and Resilient Knowledge (SPARK) services Framework to support the continued stewardship, regeneration and long-term development of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP), LLDC-managed assets and wider Mayoral Development Corporation priorities.
The framework will provide access to specialist sustainability, environmental, climate resilience and technical advisory services. It will enable LLDC Group, East Bank Partners, GLA Group bodies and MDC's Functional bodies to commission support across a range of sustainability-related requirements, including but not limited to carbon reduction, circular economy, climate adaptation, biodiversity, green infrastructure, sustainable design, environmental management, community benefit, green skills and wider responsible procurement outcomes.
The procurement will be structured to deliver a flexible and efficient route to market, allowing the Authority to draw down specialist support for planned programmes, policy development, project-specific commissions, emerging priorities and reactive advisory needs. The framework will also support LLDC’s ability to respond to future statutory, policy and operational requirements as the estate and wider regeneration programme continue to evolve.
The total framework value stated in the notice is a maximum potential aggregate value for notice purposes only. It provides commercial headroom for LLDC and eligible GLA Group bodies over the life of the framework and does not represent a guaranteed level of spend or commitment to award work. LLDC’s current internal sustainability-related budget is approximately £200,000 per annum, subject to annual budget approvals, future business need, funding availability and the specific requirements commissioned under the framework.
The framework is intended to support value for money by establishing a compliant, transparent and competitive route to market, reducing the need for repeated standalone procurements, improving access to specialist expertise and enabling timely delivery of sustainability outcomes across LLDC’s estate and programmes.
- How the procedure runs: The Authority will run a two-stage competitive procedure comprising a Provider Quality Questionnaire (PQQ)followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for shortlisted bidders. Stage 1 - Provider Quality Questionnaire (PQQ) Suppliers will submit their PQQ response, including all required technical evidence (ITT Submissions). All technical quality will be assessed at this stage. During the PQQ clarification period, suppliers may raise queries on the draft framework documents. The Authority will undertake a full technical evaluation at this stage; suppliers will not be required to repeat this evidence later in the process. Shortlisting thresholds: Top three ranked suppliers (with the option to include a Fourth and Fifth within 2% and scoring at least 60%) Only shortlisted suppliers will proceed to Stage 2. Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT) Shortlisted bidders will be invited to the ITT, which will focus on methodology clarification and commercial assessment. No PQQ evidence will be resubmitted; the ITT will solely build on the defined scenarios. ITT submissions will include: Presentation of a case study, written responses (Sub-Contractor Governance), and day-rate pricing. Suppliers may refine or update ITT materials prior to commencement of evaluation.

Who may buy through it
The Framework may be accessed by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) Group and any other contracting authority within the Greater London Authority (GLA) Group, including Mayoral Development Corporations, functional bodies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, East Bank Partners and MDC's local Boroughs, where such use supports estate, infrastructure, regeneration or development sustainability related activities associated with QEOP or wider GLA programmes.
Published description of the framework
The framework will operate as a multi supplier, multi lot agreement through which LLDC and eligible GLA Group bodies may commission sustainability and associated professional services during the framework term.
Call off contracts may be awarded through further competition, direct award, or any other call off mechanism set out in the framework documents. The applicable route will depend on the nature, value, complexity and urgency of the requirement, as well as the capability and capacity of appointed suppliers within the relevant lot.
Where a further competition is used, suppliers appointed to the relevant lot will be invited to submit a proposal against the specific requirement. The call off award will be based on the criteria set out in the framework and call off documents, which may include quality, technical capability, methodology, social value, sustainability outcomes, delivery timescales and price.
Where direct award is permitted, the Authority may award a call off contract to the supplier best placed to deliver the requirement, in accordance with the framework rules and the objective criteria set out in the procurement documents.
The framework does not guarantee any volume or value of work to any appointed supplier. Requirements will be commissioned as and when business need, funding and approvals are confirmed. Each call off contract will be subject to the relevant governance, budget approval and internal authorisation processes of the contracting authority using the framework.
The framework is intended to provide a flexible, compliant and efficient route to market for sustainability related advisory, technical and delivery support services, enabling timely access to specialist expertise while maintaining transparency, value for money and appropriate competition throughout the framework term.

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Sustainability, Planning and Development, Actions, and Resilient…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
No small-firm winners recorded among this authority’s published awards in this sample.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in Greater London.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 48 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?

How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
