Lot Information

Lot 1

The Framework Agreement is scoped to provide the Council, or client partner, with modern methods of construction, projects typically consisting of (but not confined to) new build works, alterations and extensions, refurbishments, replacements and installations, and other associated work/services which may include for contractor's design. The provision of hired-modular build is not within scope. The Framework Agreement is designed to primarily accommodate educational projects (e.g. schools, academies, colleges, universities etc), and will also include for non-educational project work including, but not limited to general Public Sector estate such as health and social care buildings; emergency services buildings; community buildings; libraries, nursery facilities, housing, respite and day care facilities, offices, general public buildings, and industrial units. The Framework Agreement may also include general associated construction services, service installations, design services (contractor and otherwise) and associated infrastructure works including hard or soft landscaping. Additional information: The estimated Framework Agreement value range of PS20 million to PS45 million GBP is over the total of 4 years. This is reflective of variations of budgetary provision and potential work from 3rd party partner clients. The lower end of the spend range is more reflective of the Council's potential spend, with the higher end incorporating other potential public sector partners both within and outside of the Staffordshire geographical border. Whilst from a Councils perspective pipeline of work the Framework Agreement is likely to see a predominance of projects typically ranging between PS0.5 million and PS2 million, the Framework may be utilised for projects above and below this range. However, there is no commitment at the time of tendering from any parties and this should be taken into consideration when bidding. Note - this is anticipated and approximate with no guarantee on actual figures. The Framework Agreement is not exclusive, and the Council or its public sector partner clients makes no guarantee as to the volume of business on offer or to be awarded, and any figures / quantities / volumes given are indicative only and intended as a general guide. The Council also reserves the right to operate a public tender outside of the Framework where so required. Whilst this Framework Agreement will predominantly deliver work within the county of Staffordshire, it is anticipated that external clients may wish work to be delivered outside of Staffordshire. From time-to-time the Council may ask Suppliers for a bond or parent company guarantee to facilitate the construction project work.

Options: The Framework Agreement allows for a 1 year extension within the term, i.e. a 3 year +1 year arrangement. Commencement of framework 1st November 2025.
