This procurement process, initiated through a selective method known as the restricted procedure, aims to appoint building construction partners for various projects in East Anglia (UKH), Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire (UKF2), and Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire (UKJ1). The framework encompasses different lots categorised by project values, ranging from up to £750,000 to projects in excess of £15 million, including modular and temporary classroom buildings. The ongoing procurement stage involves tender updates, with a framework extension until September 30, 2026, ensuring the continuation of current programmes. This is part of a larger £500 million procurement programme, originally tendered and awarded in March 2022, with framework agreements effective since February 25, 2022. This tender represents significant opportunities for a range of construction businesses, from SMEs to large-scale firms, as it provides access to numerous contracts within varying financial limits. Businesses specialised in refurbishment, modular builds, and large scale construction are well-suited to compete, as the framework includes intricate projects such as new builds, modular setups, and large-scale refurbishments. Participation involves numerous suppliers, divided into six active lots, providing market reach across multiple regions in the UK. The framework agreement allows a comprehensive approach to project delivery, promoting growth for experienced contractors capable of meeting quality and price criteria. This selective procurement method facilitates predictable business growth due to structured award criteria and scheduled renewals, enticing reputable firms, including those already active in the framework, like Kier Construction Ltd and Beardwell Construction Ltd, to leverage these opportunities. ## Notice Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) will be undertaking a framework contract to appoint building construction partners to carry out construction, building and related works on behalf of CBC and/or other public contracting authorities and bodies governed by public law within East Anglia (UKH), Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire (UKF2) and Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire (UKJ1).The Framework comprises of six LOTS, to deliver construction projects of differing values and needs comprising of new build projects and large scale refurbishment:LOT 1 - covers the construction value range of projects between PS0k to PS750kLOT 2 - covers the construction value range of projects from PS750k to PS2.0mLOT 3 - covers the construction value range of projects from PS2.0m to PS8.0mLOT 4 - covers the construction value range of projects in excess of PS8.0m - PS15.0mLOT 5 - covers the construction value range of projects in excess of PS15m +LOT 6 - Modular and temp classroom buildings ### Lot Information PS0k - PS750k Sufficiently experienced contractors to deliver construction projects of differing values and needs comprising of new build projects and refurbishment.The Framework will be available for use by Contracting Authorities and bodies governed by public law within East of England (UKH); Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire (UKJ1); Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire (UKF2) which may include but not limited to any government department, body/organisation, district, borough and unitary councils, other county councils, police, fire, hospitals, health authorities, higher and further educational establishments, schools, free schools and academies and the Ministry of Defence.
