The companies have been awarded places on public sector construction framework provider LHC Procurement Group’s (LHC) Consultancy Services (CS1) framework, now available to use until April 2027 across England and Wales.

As well as large and medium-sized construction and engineering consultancies, the 116 winners are made up of around 80% SMEs, and between 35% and 60% in each lot are micro and small companies.

The wider framework offers access to health, safety and environmental consultants, construction planning, management and design, civil and structural engineering, architectural expertise, mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, and asset management.

Dean Fazackerley, head of technical procurement, said: “It is fantastic to be announcing the successful companies to our new Consultancy Services Framework, which includes a mix of larger companies and SMEs offering building and landscape architectural expertise.

“The framework arrives as a result of thorough engagement with public sector procurement teams who said they were looking for access to a wide range of specialist expertise under one framework, from initial design, to build, and asset management and maintenance.

“One of our guiding principles at LHC is to increase the public sector’s access to regional and local supply chains, encouraging SME involvement and driving economic uplift to regional areas.

“The fact that a large majority of the consultancies appointed are SMEs is testament to our commitment to this principle, and we hope the wide range of companies appointed to CS1 will help to achieve that.”

The framework is split into four workstreams: professional construction management and design services; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services, asset management; and environmental services.

The companies appointed to construction management and administration, planning, and civil and structural engineering consultancy lots under workstream one are:
