The Strategic Estates team estimates the programme of essential repairs and improvements will be worth around £1.2bn covering a mix of disciplines from general major works to M&E and fit-out work.
The new Parliamentary Construction Partnership (CPF) Framework will replace the existing MEPFS (Mechanical, Electrical, Public health, and Fabric Safety) Framework, which expires on 15 March 2025.
Works under the new framework will cover the medium term investment into the early 2030s, rather than the full Restoration and Renewal plan for Parliament.

• Lot 3 – Medium value construction works, consisting predominantly of Architectural, Heritage, Roofing, and Conservational projects (Up to £30m)
• Lot 4 – Low / minor value construction works of mixed discipline (Up to £2.5m)
