Essex Construction Framework

Essex County Council (ECC) intends to establish a 4 year Framework Agreement for principal contractors to carry out design and construction related works primarily on behalf of ECC.

The main driver for demand within ECC is the capital programme to expand the number of school places across the county.

This programme is typically valued at 40,000 000-50 000 000 GBP per annum.

The Framework Agreement will be available to other Contracting Authorities within the East of England.

The Framework will consist of 2 seperate Lots as follows: Lot 1 works from a value of 50 000 GBP to 2 000 000 GBP; Lot 2 works from a value of 2 000 000 GBP + Applicants will be invited to apply for one lot only and each lot will have up to 5 Contractors.

ECC will use Constructionline and the PAS91 Pre-Qualification Questionnaire to reduce the administrative burden on suppliers wishing to apply for this opportunity.

If you are registered with Constructionline, you will not need to complete the full PQQ, simply supply your Constructionline membership number and complete the project specific supplementary questions S1 to S13 in the searate document that will be provided.

Please ensure that you log-in to your Constructionline profile and confirm that the information held on your company is accurate and that you are registered for Building (Design & Construct) - 45210000-2 and have the following notational values in place: LOT1: Notational Value of 2 000 000 GBP or above LOT2: Notational Value of 10 000 000 GBP or above You must do this by 17:00 12.8.2015 to ensure any changes can be made to your information held by Constructionline prior to the closing date of this notice.
