Description
To establish the National Framework for Small to Medium Works on behalf of The Education Alliance. This national Framework will cover Works projects between £0k and £20m in value, within the UK for the whole of the public sector. The Framework will aim to provide the public sector with a Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) compliant procurement vehicle that enables public authorities to be able to procure works from regional, as well as national Contractors.
The scope of service for any appointed Contractor is to deliver on the below:
• Achieving high levels of satisfaction
• Delivering right first time, every time
• A constant and relentless drive for value for money
• Accessible and visible customer services, catering for all needs
• Keeping customers constantly informed of service progress and being fully involved in service improvement.
• Responding quickly to service failure and learning from complaints
• To improve choice and flexibility around contractor and the methods of procurement.
It is proposed that the term of this Framework will be for a period of 4 years from April 2027, with no option to extend.
The Small to Medium Works Framework is principally intended for use on works of £0 - £20m in value delivered as individual construction related projects, parts or phases of a project, batches of projects or defined programmes of work, or undefined (or loosely defined) programmes of works over a set period of time, across all value bands.
The main areas of activity will be general construction and/or building services work, including new build, extensions, remodelling or alterations, refurbishment and retrofit.
The scope may also include some secondary activities, which are not the main focus, such as specialist fit-out; renovation, planned remedial and/or repair work; mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works; and civils, landscaping and associated site infrastructure works where needed to construct the works.
The above scope applies to all Lots.
Further details can be found in the Invitation to Tender and accompanying documentation.
