Framework Description
CPU 7382 is Nottingham City Council's multi-supplier framework for the supply and installation of fencing and security products. Appointed suppliers deliver complete fencing jobs, from site survey to installation, maintenance and removal. It is let as a single lot and runs to 31 May 2030 with no extension. The procurement is listed on Find a Tender as ocds-h6vhtk-060cd2.
Context & Use Case
The council uses it for fencing across its facilities, parks and properties, from close board and panel fencing to mesh, netting and security fencing with gates and access points. Jobs often include ground preparation, drainage and reinstatement, and all works must comply with legislation, environmental standards and quality management systems.
Scope of Services
Site surveys and setting out Utility and service avoidance Ground preparation and earthworks Post installation by driven or augered methods Panel, mesh, netting and security fencing Gates and access points Drainage integration and reinstatement Maintenance, repair and removal
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suits fencing contractors that both supply and install, with survey, utility avoidance and groundworks competence and quality and environmental management systems. The tender deadline passed in May 2026 and the framework is live, so firms not appointed cannot join until it is re-tendered around 31 May 2030.
Buyer Benefits
One framework covering supply, installation, maintenance and removal means the council does not need separate contracts for each stage of a fencing job. Several suppliers give it capacity and price competition, and the specification on surveys and utility avoidance reduces the risk of damaging buried services on council land.
Next Steps
Contractors on the framework should keep survey, installation and reinstatement standards high and respond quickly to council requests. Others should plan for the re-tender before 31 May 2030, build a portfolio of public sector fencing and security projects, and make sure their quality and environmental management certifications are current.

Fencing frameworks reward clear methods and sharp pricing, and quality answers on surveys and utility avoidance can separate close bids. Athena's bid pricing and method statements support helps appointed suppliers compete for council work and helps others prepare a stronger bid for the 2030 re-tender.
