Summary of the contracting process

The Essex County Council is seeking to procure a four-year multi-supplier Framework Agreement for construction services known as the Essex Construction Framework 3. This framework is intended to provide design and construction services for education and other capital construction projects, with an estimated value of £400 million. The procurement process involves three lots aimed at contractors of varying sizes covering Essex and beyond, with different contract periods and values. The tender deadline is set for January 26, 2024, and the procurement method being used is the "selective" procedure.

For businesses in the construction industry, particularly those involved in building works related to education and research, the Essex Construction Framework 3 presents a significant growth opportunity. Smaller contractors targeting Lot 1 or larger contractors suitable for Lots 2 and 3 are encouraged to participate. By engaging with this tender, businesses can access a substantial public sector construction project, contributing to the development of educational infrastructure in Essex and potentially beyond. The framework agreement allows for multiple participants, ensuring competition while offering a streamlined procurement process for selected suppliers.

Notice Title

PL0047 Essex Construction Framework 3

Notice Description

Essex County Council (ECC) is looking to procure a four-year multi-supplier Framework Agreement for construction services to replace the existing Essex Construction Framework (ECF2) which expires in early 2024. The Essex Construction Framework 3 (ECF3) will provide design and construction services for education and other capital construction and major maintenance projects, and will be available to other Contracting Authorities as specified in Schedule 1g (attached to the ProContract Event). ECF3 may also be utilised by Essex Housing/LLP where identified as a suitable procurement route for any of their future schemes. Construction relating to schools is currently the main project type procured through ECF2. Essex County Council (ECC) has a statutory duty to ensure there are sufficient school places for children within its area (including both mainstream and Special Educational Need). Once ECF2 expires, a replacement construction route is required to enable ECC to fulfil this statutory role and offer a best value route to market. As stated above, ECF3 will allow for third party usage and the framework spend has been allocated accordingly. The value estimated to go through ECF3 over a 4 year period is PS400M.
