Framework Agreement for Consultancy Services

LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) is establishing a new Consultancy Services framework (CS2) to replace existing frameworks, providing public sector organisations with access to professional consultancy services across the UK. Services include architecture, project management, quantity surveying, building surveying, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, planning consultancy, principal designer services, employer's agent services, environmental consultancy, and building safety compliance. The framework supports a wide range of public sector projects including housing, construction, refurbishment, regeneration, asset management, retrofit and decarbonisation initiatives. The framework will be structured into discipline-based lots and geographical areas, allowing contracting authorities to procure specialist or multidisciplinary services tailored to their specific needs. Services are available across participating LHCPG regions. Eligible public sector organisations can access the framework through published call-off procedures, with individual contracts awarded according to the framework's established procurement arrangements. Final scope, lot structure and detailed procurement procedures will be confirmed in the tender notice and associated documentation.
