About the Framework

The framework was developed in partnership with Contracting Authority the Hyde Group, with technical input from Frankham Risk Management Services, to support organisations with building and fire safety compliance.

Building on the success of the first-generation fire safety services offer, it has been reframed, in response to the introduction of the Building Safety Act, to support organisations with all aspects of building safety compliance.

It delivers quality services, best practice and assurance with an accredited supply chain and all suppliers were subject to an intense evaluation process, with documents and accreditations inspected by a third-party fire expert.

Projects of all sizes can be delivered through the framework, from the supply and installation of fire doors, to fireproofing, to external wall works, and there is the capacity to support with requirements such as building safety case reports, and resident engagement strategies. All works carried out under the framework comply with the relevant standards and building regulations.

In line with evolving legislation, suppliers, have been taken, where appropriate, through a competency assessment in line with the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor roles, as defined by the Building Safety Regulator, to ensure that all works continue to meet industry standards.

Ongoing, robust verification of documentation and accreditations is carried out throughout the life of the framework, maintaining the highest levels of compliance and quality assurance.

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 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:

  • Where the framework supplier is the number 1 ranked framework supplier on the framework lot in question (as shown in the fourth column of the table in Schedule 1). If such framework supplier either declines the award of the call-off contract or Hyde or the Authorised User, acting reasonably and having regard to the capability criteria, does not consider that it is capable of carrying out the call-off contract, Hyde or the Authorised User may award the call-off contract by Direct Selection to the framework supplier who is the number 2 ranked framework supplier on the framework lot in question, and so on and so forth.
  • Where the framework supplier has already carried out works and/or services at risk for Hyde or the Authorised User in relation to the site to which the call-off contract relates.
  • Where the call-off contract has substantial similarities to a previous project in 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 call-off contract by way of a Mini-Competition.
  • Where Hyde or the Authorised User has determined through application of the capability criteria that only that framework supplier is capable of carrying out the call-off contract.
  • Where the framework supplier has already performed works and/or services relating to the call-off contract and Hyde or 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, services and/or supplies to be carried out in relation to the call-off contract is less than the amount below which direct awards are permitted by Hyde’s or the relevant Authorised User’s standing orders from time to time.
  • Where Hyde or 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 Hyde or 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.
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.
