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.

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

Directors should map each lot back to delivered evidence now, not later. Procurement scoring will favour bidders who can show specific, recent, relevant delivery in the lot they select.

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.

If you are a regional business assuming RM6320 is only for national names, that assumption is likely to cost you.

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.

Procurement teams are not waiting until January 2027 to start shaping their supplier views. The shortlisting behaviour has already started.

Procurement managers building approved supplier lists are searching contractor names right now. A slow website, thin Google profile, or dormant LinkedIn presence filters contractors out before a tender conversation even starts.

The contractors who win framework places are not always the biggest. They are the ones who look credible and are easy to verify online.

This is where digital presence stops being a nice-to-have. If your visibility is behind your delivery capability, fix it now through a clear, consistent construction marketing system before the next bid window closes.

To strengthen that proof layer quickly, use measurable examples like FWC Facebook Ads case study and Wimbledon Karate Facebook Lead Ads case study in your sales and pre-qualification narratives.
