Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA), spearheaded by LHC, has finalised the award for a comprehensive framework worth £100 million for the construction and refurbishment of public buildings and infrastructure. The procurement focuses on a wide range of building types including educational, healthcare, emergency services, community centres, and more. The framework is anticipated to support numerous contracting authorities across the UK, facilitating construction projects in various regional areas. The procurement method adopted was an open procedure, and the framework will extend until 30 April 2026. Significant amendments have been made due to unforeseen operational challenges, ensuring the project’s continuity and legal compliance. Key dates include the framework's commencement on 1 October 2021 and its extension in April 2025.

This extensive framework offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in construction, extensions, and refurbishments of varying scales, with projects ranging from £0 to over £25 million. With awarded contractors such as Kier Construction, Morgan Sindall, VINCI Construction, and others, both large firms and SMEs have a chance to enhance their portfolios by engaging in a wide spectrum of high-value projects. Businesses focusing on infrastructure and public buildings will find this an opportune moment to expand their reach while contributing to educational, healthcare, and community developments. The emphasis on community benefits and sub-contracting opportunities for SMEs presents added incentives for participation, making it well-suited for firms seeking to leverage their expertise in the public sector whilst fostering social value and capacity building.

    "description": "LHC is a joint committee of local authorities acting as a central purchasing body on behalf of contracting authorities throughout England, Wales and Scotland (including partners of the Welsh Procurement Alliance, Scottish Procurement Alliance and South West Procurement Alliance) for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any one time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may also use the framework. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in England, Wales and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as listed on https://www.lhc.gov.uk/who-we-work-with/, and https://www.welshprocurement.cymru/who-we-work-with/, including but not limited to Registered social landlords (RSL's), tenant management organisations (TMOs) and arm's length management organisations (ALMOs), local authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those local authorities, health authorities, councils, boards and trusts, publicly funded schools, universities and further education establishments, colleges, police forces, fire and rescue services and registered charities. Please note within some lots listed in section V there are a number of regional areas. For these lots the contractors awarded a position on the framework will have been appointed for one or more of the regional areas available within the lot, but may not be appointed in all regional areas within a lot. Under the terms of this framework the successfully appointed contractors will be required to required to deliver community benefits in support of the public body's economic and social objectives. Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social and environmental considerations. The community benefits included in this contract are: -- to generate employment and training opportunities for priority groups, -- vocational training, -- to up-skill the existing workforce, -- equality and diversity initiatives, -- to make sub-contracting opportunities available to SMEs, the third sector and supported businesses, -- supply-chain development activity, -- to build capacity in community organisations, -- educational support initiatives. Clients wishing to use the framework will need to refer to the further information and guidance document available for this framework which will be available on the LHC, SPA, WPA, CPC and SWPA websites, or request further information from a representative of the LHC group to identify the specific list of contractors appointed in each regional area within each lot. This framework will commence on 01 October 2021 and will last for a period of 48 months, ending on 30 September 2025. (WA Ref:152888)",
