02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Hampshire County Council and Devon County Council (the Authorities) will be re-procuring the Southern Construction Framework in early 2026.
The fifth generation Southern Construction Framework currently in place is due to expire 1st May 2027. As with previous generations, this framework will predominantly support contracting authorities with construction delivery across the Southeast, Southwest and London regions, however the new framework will be open to all Public Sector Bodies in England should they wish to use it.
It is intended to operate for all projects above £1m and will be split into geographic and value-based lots.
The previous generation had a framework cap of £4.5bn with an anticipated workload of £1.92bn over the 4 years it is set to operate. As of July 2025, SCF has achieved a workload of £1.59bn (83% of turnover target at 54% of framework duration). It is anticipated that the SCF6 framework cap will be revised up to reflect both the performance and an increase in scope it covers.
Southern Construction Framework 6 (SCF6) will be procured by Devon and Hampshire County Councils (the Authorities) in the next 18 months, due to go live from May 2027. We are keen to get early engagement from interested suppliers to help steer and shape our initial set of proposals for the market.
