Construction work

Tender description

Hampshire County Council and Devon County Council are inviting expressions of interest from all suitably experienced and qualified contractors, to establish a successor framework to the existing Southern Construction Framework (SCF). The SCF framework currently delivers construction capital projects to around 50 public sector clients (but not limited to) across SW England, SE England and London. Current annual spend is circa GBP 800 000 000. The new SCF framework will operate for 4 years commencing April 2019. This opportunity would suit contractors who embrace best practice in early contractor involvement, collaborative working and 2 Stage open book contracts on projects varying in size from GBP 2 000 000 to potentially in excess of GBP 200 000 000. The framework will be available for all types of construction work, construct only or design and construct. The framework will include pre and post contract construction services for the management and development of projects. This framework will be open to all public sector organizations in SW England for construction works over GBP 2 000 000 in value. By exception, there may be some projects below this value. There may potentially be projects in excess of GBP 200 000 000. The framework will be available for all types of construction work, construct only or design and construct. The framework will include pre and post contract construction services for the management and development of projects. The main areas of activity will comprise individual projects or programmes for new build work and/or extensions and/or improvements and/or renovations and/or major reinstatement and repairs and/or building site infrastructure works including to a range of buildings across local and central government and other Public Bodies ranging from green field to complex inner city sites. These works may also at times include drainage, roads, flood defence, contamination remediation and laying services infrastructure. This arrangement will be used for a range of projects to buildings owned or used by Government Departments and Government Agencies as well as other operational establishments and premises used by similar public services providers. It is intended that the framework will be able to be fully utilised for projects funded by national and European grants. The framework may at times also be used by non Public body organisations which may need to use the framework to comply with conditions associated with the use of Public funds for these projects. Other areas of activity may include any building construction work undertaken by the participating organisations, their facilitating agencies or sub users acting with or on their behalf. Programmes are emerging from, major schools and further education programmes, the care sector, civic office developments, leisure, or programmes for police and fire authorities, and major development site infrastructure. We are not able to predict the precise make up of the type of projects, and we have noted significant changes between generations of the framework in the type of work. The works can be new build or refurbishment, situated in green-field brown field or complex inner city sites. They include but are not limited to (as examples): — libraries, — social services properties, — social housing, — Social care properties, — schools (including all faith, maintained “Free” schools and Academies) — museums, — sport and leisure facilities, — infrastructure works, — offices, — associated enabling works, — further education colleges, — new public sector housing developments, — police service buildings, — universities, — fire service buildings, — transport building/facilities, — emergency services buildings, — community buildings, — health service buildings, — economic developments, — recipients of local authority, regional, national or European grants, — central government department developments, — third sector projects, — extra care housing. Exclusively major civil engineering works such as highways, major bridges or coastal works will not be included (unless as part of enabling works aligned with a significant SCF project). Construction companies selected to join the Southern construction framework will be expected to be highly competent in terms of working collaboratively, working very closely and openly with CFSW client organisations and other partners and providing clear project support throughout the ‘pre construction period'. SCF will follow the principles and practice of the existing framework, as well as the Government Construction Strategy (2011), the Industrial Strategy for Construction (Construction 2025),and guidance to new models of construction procurement, specifically 2 Stage open book, which was published in January 2014 (Link below). https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/275722/Two_Stage_Open_Book_Guidance.pdf This framework will be open to all public sector organizations in SE England for construction works over GBP 4 000 000 in value.
