BWB appointed to the Government Commercial Agency Construction Professional Services 2 Framework

BWB Consulting has been named as a supplier on Government Commercial Agency Construction Professional Services 2 Framework, strengthening our ability to support public sector organisations across the UK.

Government Commercial Agency (GCA) is the UK’s central commercial and procurement organisation, connecting public and private sectors to achieve the best outcomes for the UK and its citizens. GCA uses its commercial expertise to create a simpler procurement experience that redirects valuable resources into essential public services – creating value for the nation. 

The Government Commercial Agency (GCA), formerly known as Crown Commercial Service (CCS), is the UK’s largest public procurement agency. Its Construction Professional Services 2 Framework, also known as CPS2, provides public sector bodies with a compliant and efficient route to appoint trusted professional services suppliers for building, infrastructure, and civil engineering projects.

BWB has been appointed to Lot 1: General Infrastructure and Built Environment, which provides access to multidisciplinary technical advisory and construction professional services across the project lifecycle. This includes support from early feasibility through to strategy and business case development, and design, procurement, delivery, and handover.

The appointment builds on our growing public sector portfolio and our experience delivering engineering, environmental, infrastructure, and built environment consultancy services to local authorities, government bodies, education providers, healthcare clients, transport organisations, and wider public estate projects.

What is the Government Commercial Agency Construction Professional Services 2 Framework?

The Government Commercial Agency Construction Professional Services 2 Framework is a national procurement route designed to help public sector organisations access expert consultancy support for construction and infrastructure projects.

The framework covers a wide range of professional services needed to plan, design and deliver building and civil engineering schemes. For clients, it reduces procurement complexity by providing access to pre-approved suppliers who have already demonstrated the required technical capability, commercial strength, quality standards and delivery experience.

For public sector organisations under pressure to deliver better places, resilient infrastructure, modern public buildings, and long-term value for communities, the framework provides a clear, compliant way to bring the right expertise into projects quickly.

How public sector clients can use BWB through the GCA framework

Public sector organisations can access BWB through the CPS2 under Lot 1: General Infrastructure and Built Environment.

This lot is designed for clients seeking multidisciplinary support across infrastructure, the built environment, and public estate projects. Through BWB, clients can access a broad range of technical services, including civil and structural engineering, transport and infrastructure design, flood risk and water management, environmental planning, geotechnics, ground solutions, project management, sustainability, stakeholder engagement and wider built environment consultancy.

Clients can use the framework to appoint BWB for discrete project stages or more integrated commissions, depending on the scale and complexity of the scheme. This means public sector bodies can bring BWB into projects at the earliest strategic stages, during design development, or as schemes move towards delivery.

We are also supported by a trusted supply chain of specialist partners, including architecture, project management and quantity surveying expertise, allowing the team to provide a joined-up offer for complex public sector projects.

Supporting public sector delivery

We already work across a wide range of public sector environments, helping clients respond to the pressures of funding, regulation, climate resilience, stakeholder scrutiny and long-term asset performance.

From local authority regeneration and transport infrastructure to education, healthcare, custodial, public estate and community-focused projects, our teams understand the need for solutions that are technically sound, commercially aware and capable of standing up to public and regulatory challenge.

The new framework appointment strengthens this offer by giving public sector clients another clear route to access our multidisciplinary expertise.

A significant achievement for BWB

Securing a place on the framework followed a detailed and highly competitive procurement process. The appointment reflects the quality of our submission, the strength of its technical teams and the business’s continued commitment to supporting public sector clients with practical, collaborative and sustainable solutions.

Dave Hollingsworth, Managing Director at BWB Consulting, said:

“This appointment is a significant achievement for BWB and a real testament to the people who worked so hard to make it happen. The GCA CPS2 Framework is one of the most important public sector routes to market for our industry, so securing a place on Lot 1 is something the whole business should be proud of.

“It gives us a strong platform to support public sector clients all across the UK, while creating opportunities for our teams to apply their expertise on projects that make a real difference to communities, bringing a commercial approach in our work that drives project viability. We know the standard expected through a framework of this scale, and we are ready to deliver with the quality, care and collaborative approach our clients expect from BWB.”

Anthony Hart, Head of Public Property at BWB Consulting, said:

“BWB already has strong experience across the public sector, supporting clients with complex estates, infrastructure, regeneration and built environment challenges. We understand the pressures public bodies face, from funding and governance to sustainability, stakeholder expectations and the need to deliver long-term value.“Our appointment to the GCA CPS2 Framework strengthens our ability to bring that experience to more clients, through a clear and compliant procurement route. It also reflects the depth of expertise we have across the business and the role we can play in helping public sector organisations move projects forward with confidence.”

Delivering through collaboration

Our appointment to the framework also reflects the collaborative culture that underpins the business. The bid brought together colleagues from across the company, combining technical expertise, public-sector insight, commercial understanding, and strong evidence of previous delivery.

With early enquiries already being received, we are now focused on converting this appointment into positive outcomes for clients, communities and the wider public sector.
