## Summary

Hampshire County Council is leading the planning stage for the Southern Construction Framework (SCF-6), in collaboration with Devon County Council. This procurement process involves re-procuring the framework in early 2026, with the current fifth generation set to expire on 1st May 2027. It primarily focuses on construction works and extends across the South East, South West, and London regions, with availability to all public sector bodies in England. The competitive flexible procedure aims to enable collaborative solutions for projects above £1 million, aligning with the framework's two-stage open book approach. Potential contractors should anticipate future notices on 5th January 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for construction companies capable of delivering projects above £1 million. The focus on geographic and value-based lots allows businesses to competitively address specific regional needs, fostering partnerships within the public sector. Smaller enterprises can also participate, given the framework's SME suitability. Companies experienced in collaborating on public sector projects will find this framework conducive to leveraging their expertise while aligning with local government goals, contributing to enhanced building solutions. Contributing to over £4.5 billion in project value, this procurement is set to deliver significant commercial potential across England.
