The new framework replaces CCS’s facilities management marketplace agreement. It runs for four years and has na estmated total value of £35bn.

In line with the principles of the government’s Sourcing Playbook, contractors were measured not just on price but also on their corporate social responsibility.

Suppliers will be required to attend regular meetings with their customers and submit quarterly returns to CCS showing how they are adhering to requirements for social value activities including modern slavery, carbon net zero, SMEs, under-represented groups, apprenticeships and prompt payments.

CCS commercial director for buildings, Noreen Winhall, explained: “The facilities management and workplace services framework is a key part of our suite of buildings frameworks. We can support our customers through the whole lifecycle of a major project - from inception, through facilities management, to demolition, aggregating public sector buying power to grow the UK economy.

“The new framework has the government’s latest policy priorities baked in, enabling better outcomes on key social value priorities like modern slavery, providing opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs, and carbon reduction.”

(VCSE stands for voluntary, community and social enterprise.)

More suppliers are more expected to join a parallel dynamic purchasing system when it opens in October
