This opportunity falls under the construction works category and targets projects valued over £4 million, with a substantial emphasis on expanding school capacities across Essex. The tender is currently in the active phase, with submissions due by 15 May 2019. A bidders' event is scheduled for 1 April 2019 at the JobServe Community Stadium in Colchester, Essex, where interested parties can learn more and register to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in educational facilities, as the ECC is investing between £35 million and £50 million annually in expanding school places. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the procurement is tailored to include them. Companies able to deliver projects in the specified value range, as well as those familiar with the PAS 91:2017 questionnaire process, will find this framework a viable platform for growth, potentially opening pathways to engagement with both ECC and other contracting authorities that may utilise this framework. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Instead of: 15 May 2019 Time: 12:00 Read New: 22 May 2019 Time: 12:00 Essex County Council (ECC) are looking to establish a 4 year Framework Agreement for principal contractors to carry out both design and construction and construction only works primarily on behalf of ECC.

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.
