The overall programme is currently valued at approximately £110M. Delivery is expected to utilise a combination of existing contracts (e.g. PFIs and Regional Delivery frameworks) alongside the procurement of new contracts for major refurbishment works. The estimated value of these major refurbishments is approximately £35M, with potential for further increase, and projects are geographically distributed across the UK. The TSP will be required to provide multi-disciplinary support across the programme lifecycle. The anticipated scope of services includes: a. Assessment Studies b. Project Management Support c. NEC4 Administration d. Design e. Support to Procurement Activity f. Technical Support and Advice g. Support/Evidence to Full Business Case The Authority is currently considering procurement and packaging options for the TSP services. Potential approaches include: • A staged contracting model, with an initial contract for assessment studies followed by subsequent contracts for later RIBA stages; or • A single contract arrangement, incorporating optional services to be called off as the programme progresses • The potential to structure delivery on either a UK-wide basis or through regional lots, reflecting the geographical spread of the programme. The estimated value of the initial assessment studies is approximately £640K. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 71356300 - **Contract Period:** 02/11/2026 to 29/10/2027 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F053186-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-06-05T09:38:57.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-22T15:46:56.260Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06ae60
