## Summary

The Essex Construction Framework Lot 1 Award, administered by Essex County Council (ECC), outlines a four-year framework agreement aimed at design and construction works to support the county's capital programme for expanding school places. The procurement process is currently marked as complete, with the primary industry category being construction work (CPV code: 45000000). The framework encompasses two lots, where Lot 1 is designated for works valued between £50,000 and £2,000,000. The contract has a start date of 1st March 2016 and is set to conclude on 29th February 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth in the construction sector, particularly for businesses with the capacity to undertake medium-scale projects. With a total annual contract value estimated between £40 million and £50 million, companies that specialise in educational facility construction or refurbishment would be particularly well-positioned to benefit. The selected contractors for Lot 1 include reputable firms such as Ashe Construction Ltd and Beardwell Construction Ltd, indicating strong competition for future projects under this framework.

## Notice
