Updated: Partners Panels Handbook updated and Multidisciplinary Panel Brochure added.
These panels are available for use free of charge by a number of other public sector bodies.
The panels have been procured through fully compliant Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) processes, and offer a quick and efficient means to procure high quality, good value development related technical services, such as property and project management, engineering, planning, and multidisciplinary services.
Over recent years, our panels have been used by around 200 partners to deliver around £130 million of development related services. Users have reported significant savings in procurement time, and rates provided are extremely competitive, in many cases much lower than for comparable panels or for open procurement.

Selection of panels
Panel firms are sourced through competitive tender processes at regular intervals, usually every four years. The panel tender process is subject to the HCA’s procurement policy. Re-tendering of panels is advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Prospective panel members are advised to use the search facility via the OJEU Tenders Electronic Daily website or subscribe to a tender search company specialising in this field.
No unsolicited information
Potential suppliers and consultants are requested to refrain from sending unsolicited details of their goods, services and skills to the HCA, as we are unable to retain this information.
