Framework Agreement for Modern Methods of Construction

This procurement is for a Framework to supply predominately Works on an ad-hoc call-off basis as and when required for the Modern-Methods of Construction.

The Framework is scoped to provide the Council, or client partner, with modern methods of construction projects typically consisting of (but not confined to) new build works, alterations and extensions, refurbishments, replacements and installations, and other associated work/services which may include for contractor's design.

The provision of hired-modular build is not within scope.

The Council may commission projects or programmes of work on behalf of itself or its clients. The procurement does allow provision for other partner clients, namely Public Sector Bodies to access this Framework with the permission of the Council. Other Authorities and Public Sector organisations, or similar may also directly commission projects on behalf of themselves and will be responsible for their own contracts.

Specifically, this Framework may be made available to Local Authorities, Contracting Authorities and Public Bodies within

Staffordshire and wider areas as prescribed by the NUTS codes in this notice. These may include any other Government Department, Defence, Emergency Services, Metropolitan /Borough & District Councils, Utilities, Educational Establishments, together with the specific Contracting Authorities named in the Find a Tender contract notice. Health Authorities Councils Boards and Trusts

These organisations will be afforded third party rights or be named as beneficiaries under the contract or contracts where appropriate.

The estimated Framework Agreement value range of £20 million to £45 million GBP is over the total of 4 years. This is reflective of variations of budgetary provision and potential work from 3rd party partner clients. The lower end of the spend range is more reflective of the Council's potential spend, with the higher end incorporating other potential public sector partners both within and outside of the Staffordshire geographical border.

Whilst from a Councils perspective pipeline of work the Framework Agreement is likely to see a predominance of projects typically ranging between £0.5 million and £2 million, the Framework may be utilised for projects above and below this range.

However, there is no commitment at the time of tendering from any parties and this should be taken into consideration when bidding. Note - this is anticipated and approximate with no guarantee on actual figures.

Whilst this Framework Agreement will predominantly deliver work within the county of Staffordshire, it is anticipated that external clients may wish work to be delivered outside of Staffordshire.
