Mott MacDonald has been named as a supplier to Government Commercial Agency RM6356 Construction Professional Services 2 (CPS2) framework, one of the UK government’s main procurement routes for construction professional and advisory services.

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. 

The CPS2 framework (RM6356), which replaces RM6165, will be used by central government departments, arm’s length bodies and the wider public sector to procure professional services across infrastructure, the built environment and defence. The framework is expected to account for £3.5bn spend over its lifetime, with a limited number of suppliers appointed to each lot.

Mott MacDonald secured places across a wide range of CPS2 Lots, namely:

• Lot 1 General Infrastructure and Built Environment 
• Lot 2 Architectural 
• Lot 3 Project Management 
• Lot 4 Commercial 
• Lot 5 Defence 
• Lot 6 Defence Enhanced 
• Lot 7 International 
• Flood Risk and asset management (FRAM)  
• Lot 9a Technical services  
• Lot 9b Environmental services  
• Lot 9c Commercial and Project Management Services 

The breadth of appointments reflects the company’s multidisciplinary capabilities and positions it to compete for a significant volume of public sector work issued via further competition under the framework.

Richard Risdon, general manager for Mott MacDonald’s UK and Europe business, said the appointment reinforces the consultancy’s role in delivering complex public sector programmes.

“CPS2 is a strategically important framework and a critical route to market for government and public sector clients,” he said. “Our continued success across multiple lots reflects the strength of our technical expertise, assurance led delivery approach and our ability to support clients across the full project lifecycle, including in complex and sensitive environments.”

The CPS2 framework will play a central role in delivering government priorities around infrastructure investment, climate resilience, flood risk management and long-term asset performance, as well as defence capability and resilience.

Risdon added:

“We look forward to continuing to work with GCA and public sector clients through CPS2 to help deliver sustainable, resilient and value driven outcomes that support national priorities, including net zero and climate adaptation.”
