The Crown Commercial Service鈥檚 (CCS) Construction Works and Associated Services framework agreement is available to all public sector organisations to find companies to help build schools, hospitals, offices, universities, prisons, housing and more.
It is the first ever government-led construction arrangement for whole public sector. The framework is made up of 11 lots broken down into 38 sub-lots and runs for seven years.
Most of the big names in UK construction are among the favoured 128 suppliers, as well as 57 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Notable absentees at this stage include Balfour Beatty and Skanska.
However, seven of the 38 different lots have yet to be filled, including all three value bands in the general construction works category for England-South and England-North. These will be confirmed 鈥榠n due course鈥� CCS said.
The government expects this new procurement agreement to 鈥渉elp shape public sector construction鈥� enabling public bodies to avoid having to run their own costly and time-consuming procurement exercises.
Cabinet Office minister for implementation, Simon Hart, said: 鈥淭his agreement will help public bodies across the country carry out the work needed to build much-needed new housing as well as improve schools and hospital buildings. I know this will be welcomed by people up and down the country and I really look forward to seeing some of the incredible projects this agreement will help to facilitate.鈥�
Sam Ulyatt, commercial director, buildings at CCS, said: 鈥淭his new agreement provides a solid foundation for public sector bodies to achieve the best outcomes and value for their investment across the whole construction lifecycle.
鈥淭he principles of this agreement are collaboration and integration with supply chains, boosting innovation at a critical time and supporting the government鈥檚 work towards achieving a zero carbon 2050 target.鈥�
The agreement also provides access to specialist construction work for air-side and maritime construction services, as well as modern methods of construction, such as offsite manufacturing.
The arrangement complements other CCS agreements for project management, facilities management, building materials and utilities. Purchasing bodies are told that they may use project bank accounts to reassure the supply chain but they are not obliged to.
