The agreement prevents public bodies having to run their own costly and time-consuming procurement exercises.
It is the first government-led construction agreement which can be used by the whole public sector.
Sam Ulyatt, Commercial Director, Buildings at CCS said: “This new agreement provides a solid foundation for public sector bodies to achieve the best outcomes and value for their investment across the whole construction lifecycle.
“The principles of this agreement are collaboration and integration with supply chains, boosting innovation at a critical time and supporting the government’s work towards achieving a zero carbon 2050 target.”
It is the first time a construction works framework has been drawn up for this scale of project pipeline and follows the award of professional services and infrastructure consulting engineer frameworks awarded to consultants last year after long delays.
If taken up by major Government clients it would supersede a mass of frameworks presently in operation bringing to an end significant procurement duplication in England.
