The frameworks draw together the existing construction framework expertise into overarching arrangements. Under the terms of the Frameworks each of the appointed contractors will be required to hold accreditation to ensure that they meet key standards in Health and Safety, insurance, trade accreditations and financial soundness as well as other requirements more specifically identified within the tender pack. The Authority requires a comprehensive accreditation scheme provider to assess, accredit and support the monitoring of contractors engaged on the SCF for when the current Comprehensive Accreditation Scheme Provider's contract comes to an end in February 2023.
