Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council (ECC) has completed the procurement of a four-year construction framework agreement, known as Essex Construction Framework 3 (ECF3), which replaces the previous ECF2 framework. This agreement covers design and construction services for education and other capital construction and major maintenance projects in the UKH3 region, with contracts awarded to multiple suppliers. The procurement method was a restricted procedure under a selective procurement approach. The three lots under this framework cover construction works in varying value ranges: Lot 1 for works up to £750,000, Lot 2 for works from £500,000 to £4.5 million, and Lot 3 for works over £4 million. The contracts were awarded on 2nd August 2024, with active contracts signed on 6th June 2024, totalling £400 million GBP.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in education infrastructure and large-scale maintenance projects. Companies can engage in multi-million-pound contracts, fostering substantial growth. The framework's division into three separate lots allows for participation from small to large-scale enterprises, making this an inclusive opportunity for a wide range of businesses. Firms with competencies in cost control, environmental consideration, design and programme management, and social value integration will find this framework particularly well-suited to their capabilities, encouraging dynamic and diverse engagement in the region's developmental projects.
