About the Framework

Developed in partnership with Contracting Authority Community Housing, the framework gives a single point of access to works and services for every part of the development process, from design, site preparation and demolition works at the front end to the construction work itself and a wide range of consultancy services.

It is suitable for the construction of both homes and non-dwelling units including, shops, offices and light industrial and industrial units, as well as commercial, community and educational buildings.

Intended to ensure best practice, innovation and customer service are at the heart of development activity the multi-disciplinary solution is capable of meeting changing needs and will support with the project management of development works large and small, as well as giving access to a directory of professional services.

Using consultants from the framework gives Authorised Users assurance that they are getting robust management of the build process and delivery, with a single point of access to services for every part of the process.

Accessing the Framework

Authorised Users must sign an Access Agreement with the Contracting Authority in order to use the framework

You can choose between Mini-Competition and Direct Award (see section below for more information).

On completion of the framework procurement process (either Direct Award or Mini-Competition) the Authorised User will enter into a call-off contract with the selected supplier, using an industry standard form of construction contract. Authorised Users can choose to appoint consultants using the Framework Letter of Appointment or Deed of Appointment.

Contracts can be awarded via Direct Award or Mini-Competition to suit operational requirements and project circumstances, and a member of the Pretium team will advise and support you through the call-off procurement process.

Direct Award

Direct Award offers the mechanism to issue work directly to the supplier without any further tender.

Authorised Users may award directly to a framework supplier in any of the following circumstances:

  • To the number one ranked framework supplier on the Lot in question or should the number one ranked supplier not wish to accept the award, to the number two supplier and so on.
  • Where the framework supplier has already carried out works or services at risk for the Authorised User in relation to the site to which the call-off contract relates.
  • Where the framework supplier has already performed works and/or services relating to the call-off contract and the Authorised User requires continuity of service in respect of such a subsequent phase or stage of work.
  • Where the estimated value of the works and/or services to be carried out in relation to the call-off contract is less than the amount below which direct awards are permitted by the Authorised User’s standing orders from time to time.
  • Where the Authorised User has invited expressions of interest from framework suppliers in relation to an intended mini-competition for a call-off contract, and only one framework supplier has responded to express their interest within the requisite timescale set by the Authorised User.
  • Where for reasons of confidentiality or commercial sensitivity it is not reasonably practicable to award the call-off contract by way of a mini-competition.
  • Where the call-off contract has substantial similarities to a previous project on which the framework supplier was involved (whether such project was the subject of a call-off contract awarded under this Framework Agreement or not).
  • Where for reasons of urgency it is not reasonably practicable to award the contract by way of a mini-competition.
  • Where the Authorised User has determined through the application of the capability criteria that only one framework supplier on the framework lot in question is capable of carrying out the call-off contract.

All suppliers within the framework are invited to participate in a mini tender specific to the works being called off.

The Authorised Users will identify the framework suppliers appointed to the framework lot, who are capable of carrying out the particular call-off contract and invite those framework suppliers to participate in the mini-competition.

Authorised Users may use capability criteria to determine which framework suppliers are capable of carrying out the call-off contract and are therefore invited to participate in the mini-competition.

The Pretium team manage this process on the Authorised User’s behalf or can offer support, as and when required, including document templates. The process can be managed through Procurement portal, EU Supply/Mercell or directly by the authorised user through their choice of portal.

Whichever option you choose, you may wish to understand which of our trusted suppliers have the capacity to deliver your project, through an Expression of Interest (EOI). Our team will gather your project information into an EOI template which will be issued to all suppliers. Their responses are then collated and presented to you in a summary document to help inform decision making moving forward.
