Description

Following the success of the North Wales Construction Framework 2 (NWCF2) and the benefits in procurement time, cost and value added provided by it, the six North Wales Authorities wish to continue to have a collaborative Framework to procure regional construction projects. It is proposed to renew the current Framework and extend its scope to cater for every construction project over 250K GBP threshold and to incorporate the lessons learned from the current iteration. It is proposed that the framework will be set up by the six NW local authorities and available to be used by other public sector agencies (Higher Education, Police Authority, Housing Association and Fire and Rescue Services) by June 2024 and be in place for four years (with a break clause to review after 2 years). Important! See note in Additional Information regarding ENGAGEMENT EVENTS.
