The contracting process was led by Denbighshire County Council and aims to cater to construction projects over a £250,000 threshold, fostering regional engagement and upskilling while promoting efficiency and collaboration. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with contracts signed in March 2024, offering significant business opportunities for SMEs and large-scale construction companies in the region. This tender under the NWCF3 presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the construction industry, particularly SMEs, to gain contracts for various regional value bands. With active contracts in place, suppliers have the chance to contribute to projects ranging from social housing to larger construction ventures. The focus on community benefits, best practices, and efficient delivery processes creates an environment suitable for companies looking to expand or establish themselves in the North Wales construction sector. ## Notice Denbighshire County Council (Lead authority), in association with Flintshire County Council, Wrexham County Borough Council, Gwynedd Council and Isle of Anglesey County Council wish to renew the current Framework (NWCF2) and extend its scope to cater for every construction project over 250K GBP threshold and to incorporate the lessons learned from the current iteration.
