## Summary

Essex County Council is issuing the "Essex Construction Framework 2" tender, aimed at establishing a four-year framework agreement primarily for construction works, especially in relation to the county's capital programme for expanding school places, valued at £35m-£50m per annum. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with a total estimated value of £400 million. Key dates include the tender period closing on February 28, 2020, and the contract period spanning from March 1, 2020, to February 29, 2024. The procurement method utilised for this process is the restricted procedure.

This framework presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the construction sector, particularly those specialising in educational facilities and public construction projects. Companies that are well-suited to compete include large-scale construction firms and subcontractors with expertise in both design and building works. The framework will also be available to other contracting authorities, expanding potential collaboration avenues for interested suppliers.

## Notice

The main driver for demand within ECC is the capital programme to expand the number of school places across the county, valued at PS35m-PS50m per annum. The Framework Agreement is anticipated to be utilised as a route for any construction project delivered by ECC (excluding roads and housing). The Framework consists of 3 core Lots and will be available to other Contracting Authorities. The Selection Questionnaire will use the PAS 91:2017 questionnaire, with the inclusion of ECC specific questions. A bidders event will be held at 13:30 on April 1st at the JobServe Community Stadium, Colchester, Essex. Attendance is limited to 2 attendees per organisation. If you'd like to register, please send attendees names and job titles via the e-sourcing portal.
