## Summary

The North West Contractor Framework, initiated by Oldham Council, is a significant public procurement opportunity within the construction sector, particularly aimed at supporting various public sector bodies across the North West of England. This framework is designed to span a maximum duration of four years, commencing on 1st April 2022 and estimated to conclude in March 2026. The framework facilitates the procurement of construction works, with a total estimated value of £1.8 billion, and is structured into multiple lots targeting different project value bands. It is essential for interested parties to note that effective engagement with this framework will be governed by the Open procurement method, with a focus on delivering construction services including new builds and refurbishments.

This framework presents vast opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs and larger construction firms that can meet the diverse needs of the public sector, including schools, NHS bodies, local authorities, and other government agencies. Businesses specialising in construction, infrastructure development, or related services will find significant potential within this framework, especially those equipped to handle projects valued between £50,000 and over £30 million. The emphasis on social value in procurement further enhances the appeal for firms committed to delivering positive community impacts alongside traditional construction outcomes.

## Notice

Oldham Council as the Contracting Authority in partnership with Procure Partnerships has let a North West Contractor Framework with a maximum duration of four years, which may be used to award contracts for Oldham Council's pipeline of works and is accessible by North West public sector bodies / 'Contracting Authorities' as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Procure Partnerships have successfully been operating and delivering a North West Contractor Framework across the North West of England for the past three years supporting with the procurement and delivery of over 100 construction projects within this period. The Framework is designed to align with the ambitions of the Construction Playbook, and to help the public sector deliver on the Government's ambition to 'build back better' bringing together commercial best practice and reform to drive better, faster, greener delivery. The Framework will go-live 1st April 2022 and is therefore anticipated to expire in March 2026, but in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 Framework users may award contracts under the Framework which may exceed the length of the Framework itself. Potential Framework users may include North West; Schools, Academies, Colleges, Universities, Blue Light/Emergency Services, NHS Bodies, Local Authorities, Health and Social Care Bodies, Housing Associations, Libraries and Museums, Registered Charities, Government Departments, Leisure Providers, Clinical Commissioning Groups; as more particularly set out in the Contract Notice 2021/S 000-012131 Users of the Framework will be able to procure works with associated services (e.g., new build, refurbishment, fit out, infrastructure, single site/project works or multi site projects/ programmes of works) thereunder on the basis of established fixed Contractor overhead and profit rates, and hourly rates. Projects may be of Design and Build or Build Only in nature, under a Two Stage or Single Stage procurement route, embracing both NEC and JCT forms of contract, in compliance with the restrictions on and full freedoms for the range of works and building types provided by the CPV codes referenced. CPV codes 71000000 and 44000000 are to be taken as being covered by this procurement only in context of delivering 4500000 construction works. On the same basis, the Framework includes infrastructure works Lots; construction work for pipelines, communication and power lines, for highways, roads, airfields and railways; flatwork.
