Live Tenders in June 2026

By Sean Mander, Commercial Director

June has seen an influx in new tender opportunities, with our bid writing and bid management team working on National Highways’ SDF2 Framework as well as some significant project bids in the Republic of Ireland.

What stands out this month is the number of framework opportunities. A Framework is essentially a pre-agreed route to market. Much like a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), it locks in the commercial terms and procedures at the outset, then gives public sector buyers a ready-made pool of approved suppliers to call on. Once you’re on it, you can be awarded contracts directly or through mini-competition, without the buyer having to go back out to the open market.
