Bringing our expertise and knowledge to the framework
Southern Construction Framework (SCF), a leading construction procurement framework delivered by the public sector for the public sector in the South of England, has announced the contractors on its 5th generation framework.
20 contractors have been awarded a place on SCF Construct. We are delighted to be one of 12 new contractors bringing additional expertise and local knowledge, and the potential for customers to access new local supply chains.
Winning contractors were put through a robust bidding process for the new generation framework, which will be launched in May 2023. The framework will give public sector organisations access to a full range of public sector construction solutions and includes access to construct-only or design and build, construction, and management services.
A commitment to provide a trustworthy, equitable, and ethical vehicle for delivery based on greater transparency and governance underpins the framework. For its 5th generation, SCF has chosen contractors that can demonstrate exemplary carbon benchmarking assessment for all builds and has prioritised carbon retrofit capabilities as part of its industry leading Carbon and Social Value targets.

SCF is the market leader in Two Stage Open Book project delivery, under which the framework will operate exclusively. This Government-recommended delivery method is part of an initiative to reform UK construction practices and is unique in the way it brings the contractor, stakeholders and suppliers together at the very start of a construction project.
