COV Pipeline Multi‑disciplinary Design Team Framework
Framework Description
Coventry City Council is setting up a multi-disciplinary design team framework, listed on its procurement pipeline, to support its school expansion programme and other capital projects. The framework will let the Council call off design team support for school schemes and capital projects across its other service areas. The Council publishes pre-tender briefings on its consultation and pre-tender briefings page.
Context & Use Case
The Council's capital programme team will use it to appoint design consultants for school expansion schemes and for other council building projects. Design team support will be called off as each project starts, so firms on the framework can expect a series of commissions rather than one large appointment at the start.
Scope of Services
Multi-disciplinary design team support Design for the school expansion programme Capital project consultancy for other council service areas Call-off design support as projects arise

Who Can Apply
Multi-disciplinary design practices, or teams that can provide architecture, engineering and building services together, with school and public building experience. As this is a pipeline procurement, suppliers will join by bidding when the tender is published.
Buyer Benefits
A ready-appointed design team lets the Council start feasibility and design on school expansions quickly, which matters when new school places are needed on time. Multi-disciplinary teams reduce coordination risk. One framework across services gives the Council consistent fees and design standards.
Next Steps
Watch Coventry City Council's consultation and pre-tender briefings page, and attend any briefing offered for this framework. Assemble your team and any partners now. Prepare school and public building case studies, CVs and design quality evidence, so you can respond quickly when the tender is released.
