Cabinet considered a report on a proposed construction contractors framework agreement.
Alternative options considered and rejected by the Cabinet:
· Procure professional services on a project by project basis.
· Continue the use of other external frameworks
Resolved to
1. approve the Construction Contractors Framework Agreement and
2. approve the named providers in each lot for the Construction Contractors Framework Agreement as set out in Confidential Appendix C
Reasons for Decision
The establishment of the Construction Contractors Framework Agreement will provide a faster and more compliant route to market, and deliver additional benefits, e.g. such as improved social value.
The fees proposed by the Construction Contractors are the basis for a negotiation to obtain the lowest possible project fees which demonstrate value for money.
