## Summary

Essex County Council (ECC) has awarded a Framework Agreement known as the Essex Construction Framework Lot 2, primarily focused on construction works, with the contract period spanning from 1st March 2016 to 29th February 2020. This procurement, part of ECC's initiative to expand school capacities in the East of England, features a total value that typically ranges between £40 million to £50 million annually. The procurement method employed was selective, following a restricted procedure, and the tender period concluded on 3rd November 2015.

This tender opens significant opportunities for large construction firms that specialise in education-related projects or large-scale infrastructure works. Businesses equipped to handle contracts valued above £2 million and experienced in collaborations with government entities will find a competitive advantage in this procurement process. Potential participants should note that the Framework Agreement allows other contracting authorities within the region to benefit from contractors appointed under Lot 2.

## Notice

The Framework Agreement will be available to other Contracting Authorities within the East of England.
