## Summary

The Hampshire County Council has awarded the Intermediate Construction Framework 3 (ICF 3) contract for construction work.

The procurement stage is complete, with Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Limited being one of the active suppliers.

This tender presents opportunities for construction companies looking to engage in projects within Hampshire and neighboring counties. Businesses involved in construction work, such as building construction, site preparation, and urban planning, would be suitable candidates. The Hampshire County Council is the buying organisation, and the procurement method is an open procedure. The deadlines and key dates for this contract have passed, and suppliers have already been awarded contracts for the available lots.

## Notice

The new ICF Framework will have two lots: Lot 1 - The type of project or programmes is expected to consist mostly of extensions, refurbishments, and alterations to existing schools; however, any type of building work to any property including housing, and associated construction services such as hard or soft landscaping is included. Work to Fire, Police and NHS properties may be needed, with a value range between PS800k and PS6.5m. Lot 2 - Residential Led Construction Works, the aim for the lot is to help improve the delivery of smaller scale housing led schemes in Hampshire and neighbouring counties. Extensions, refurbishments, and alterations to other types of buildings is also covered, with an upper threshold proposed of 25 / 30 units or PS6.5m.

### Lot Information

Construction Works approx. PS0.8M to PS6.5M

The framework is being set up with the aim of delivering the following objectives: - * legally compliant process * better management of risks through best practice project governance * improved predictability of time, cost and quality * reduced claims and conflict * streamlined processes * early supplier involvement reducing abortive design work * co-ordinated engagement of the whole supply chain * collection of benchmarking data * reduced tendering cost for contractors The majority of the works from this framework will utilise the Two Stage Open Book approach to construction procurement where the contractor is engaged early in the construction process, although this new ICF will also offer Single Stage Lump Sum as an option. The present ICF has successfully provided a regional procurement route for HCC and neighbouring authorities to deliver individual projects and programmes of work within this mid-value range. The residential lot is a new option aimed at providing greater capacity for authorities within the geography to procure smaller residential projects. The philosophy of this construction framework is aimed at improving the predictability of project out-turn cost, programme and quality by the early collaborative involvement of the contractor in the project design and project management. The aim is the development of long-term collaborative relationships between clients, professionals and contractors around shared objectives and common values. Lot 1 - The type of project or programmes is expected to consist mostly of extensions, refurbishments, and alterations to existing schools; however, any type of building work to any property including housing, and associated construction services such as hard or soft landscaping is included. Work to Fire, Police and NHS properties may be needed. The type of commissions will be one of two types:- "Construct only" in which the contracting authority independently employs their own professional consultants, or in-house designers, and the contractor is first engaged by the client as a member of the project team to contribute to the cost build up, buildability, programming, risk management and value engineering, possibly including some contractor designed portions or site survey work. "Develop and Construct" in which the contractor will provide professional design services, including Contractor Designed Portions, either as a part of their supply chain or using their established consortia for design and build contract arrangements. On occasions, clients may wish to novate some or all of their existing consultants to the contractor. It is not, however, intended that the framework be intentionally used solely to provide professional services, with the construction phase works then let by other means.
