## Summary

Essex County Council is initiating a tender process for the "Major Capital Construction Framework 2" aimed at establishing a four-year Framework Agreement for principal contractors. This framework will facilitate both design and construction works primarily to expand school places across Essex, with a projected value of £35 million to £50 million per annum. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for submission set for 13th March 2019. The Framework Agreement will include three core Lots and will also be available to other contracting authorities throughout England, with activities taking place in London.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in large-scale construction works. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will find themselves well-positioned to compete, especially those with experience in educational infrastructure projects. The anticipated bidders' event on 1st April 2019 will provide additional insights into the project requirements and facilitate networking. Businesses looking to engage in construction projects that are not focused on roads or housing will benefit particularly from this opportunity.

The Framework Agreement is anticipated to be utilised as a route for all construction projects delivered by ECC (excluding roads and housing). The intention is that the Framework will consist of 3 core Lots. Additionally, the Framework Agreement will be available to other Contracting Authorities within England It's intended that the Selection Questionnaire will be released on 13th March 2019, using the PAS 91:2013+A1:2017 questionnaire, with the inclusion of ECC specific questions.
