Framework Appoints Contractors

Created to support public sector construction and development in the region, across all sectors including education, health, local authority, leisure developments, SCF Construct is available to all public bodies in the South East, London and the South West.

This latest generation includes additional lots for the South West, between £1m and £5m, adding expertise and new local supply chains.

Winning contractors participated in a bidding process for the new generation framework, which will be launched in May 2023. The framework will give public sector organisations access to a range of public sector construction solutions and includes access to construct-only or design and build, construction, and management services.

For its 5^th generation, SCF says it has chosen contractors that can demonstrate carbon benchmarking assessment and has prioritised carbon retrofit capability.

The framework will operate under the government-recommended Two Stage Open Book project delivery method. It aims to reform UK construction practices and bring contractors, stakeholders and suppliers together at the start of a construction project.

Adam Sanford, SCF Operations Lead, London & South East, said: “It was important for us in approaching this latest SCF Construct bidding process to ensure that it was an open and transparent process to attract the widest set of contractors. As a result, we are delighted to have some new faces working with us, bringing valuable new expertise to our construction schemes.”

Kingsley Clarke, SCF Operations Lead, South West, said: “Via our new sub £5m lots, we’ve also opened the door to SME contractors in the South West and we’re very much looking forward to working with them and their local supply chains on some innovative schemes in the region.”

The new generation SCF Construct complements the current SCF Residential and SCF Consult frameworks which have delivered over £8 billion worth of combined construction schemes in the last 16 years since SCF was first established.

Contractors on the SCF Construct framework are: Kier, Morgan Sindall, Willmott Dixon, Tilbury Douglas, ISG, John Graham, Galliford Try, Wates, Bouygues UK, VINCI, BAM, Mace, Bowmer & Kirkland, Halsall, Mildren, Nevada, AJC Development (South), Stepnell, Knights Brown, EW Beard.
