Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services

Tender description

Swindon Borough Council has taken the decision to abandon the current tender process in relation to the procurement of a framework agreement for professional services to support the regeneration of Swindon Heritage Assets.

This is to ensure that the council can achieve its best value duty, transparency and equality to all bidders. The Council will therefore be issuing a new tender.
