RM6320 Tender Closed: What Happens Next for UK Contractors

The RM6320 and ProCure24 supplier deadline passed on 4 June 2026. Here is what happens next and how subcontractors should prepare for award and mobilisation.

RM6320 Tender Closed: What Happens Next for UK Contractors

The Government Commercial Agency's supplier tender for RM6320 closed at 3:00pm on 4 June 2026. The procurement is now in evaluation.

This is the third-generation Construction Works and Associated Services framework, incorporating ProCure24 and replacing RM6088, RM6267 / ProCure23 and RM6184 Offsite Construction Solutions. GCA currently gives an anticipated award and mobilisation period of December 2026 to March 2027.

For UK contractors, this is not a routine framework refresh. It is the biggest construction framework renewal currently in play.

Who Can Access RM6320

The buyer base is broad. RM6320 is expected to be used by:

  • Central Government departments
  • Local authorities
  • NHS bodies
  • Police services
  • Fire and rescue services
  • Education bodies
  • Housing associations
  • Devolved administrations across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

That breadth matters. Winning a place is not just about one client pipeline. It creates a route into multiple public sector commissioning streams over an eight-year term.

The Seven Core Lots

RM6320 is structured around seven core lots:

  1. General construction
  2. Civils and infrastructure
  3. Offsite solutions
  4. ProCure24 healthcare
  5. Defence
  6. International
  7. Nuclear

The supplier deadline has passed. Existing bidders should follow the formal evaluation communications, rather than treat this lot summary as an invitation to submit a new application.

The Sub-Lot Detail Most Contractors Will Miss

The headline lots will get the attention, but the tactical opportunity sits underneath.

Lot 1 (General Construction) and Lot 2 (Civil Engineering and Infrastructure) both include sub-lots for projects under £5m. Those sub-lots are split across 12 UK sub-regions, with around 8 to 12 places per region.

These are not tier-one national contractor positions. They exist for established regional contractors with strong local delivery records.

Check the official lot information when researching the eventual appointed suppliers and their delivery areas.

Key dates and current status

  • Supplier tender deadline: 3:00pm, 4 June 2026, closed
  • Evaluation: underway
  • Anticipated award and mobilisation: December 2026 to March 2027

Main bidders can no longer submit. For subcontractors, the practical opportunity now shifts towards the supply chains of firms that may be appointed when evaluation concludes.

What to do at the current stage

Existing bidders should monitor formal communications and any published amendments. Specialists can prepare a map of relevant trades and regions, then check the official appointed supplier list when published. Do not treat a bidder or possible future package as a confirmed appointment.

For the current record and source links, use the RM6320 calendar entry. Clear project evidence can support later supply-chain conversations, but it does not replace the buyer's participation or assessment process.
