The regional framework runs for four years and will be used by the EFA, academies, local authorities, dioceses and educational establishments. It is aimed at smaller value individual capital projects, including both refurbishment and reconstruction, and is intended to complement the existing contractors framework. Schemes will generally be valued £3m and £7m, but there is scope for schemes up to £12m.
