New Consultancy Services Framework (CS2) - Supplier Engagement Opportunity

LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) is developing CS2, a new Consultancy Services framework designed to replace the current CS1 and MDC1 frameworks. This comprehensive framework will serve public sector organisations across multiple sectors including housing, construction, asset management, retrofit, decarbonisation, building safety, and related built environment projects. The framework aims to provide consolidated access to consultancy expertise for complex projects. LHCPG is conducting pre-market engagement to gather feedback from potential suppliers and public sector partners on the proposed scope, workstream structure, and lot arrangements. This engagement phase will directly shape the final framework design, making it an important opportunity for suppliers to influence the opportunity and understand requirements before the formal tender launch. The framework structure and specific details remain subject to refinement based on stakeholder input.
