Ten firms have won places on a civil engineering, highways and transportation framework covering most of the South of England worth up to £500m over four years.
The Generation 4-TWO Civil Engineering, Highways and Transportation Collaborative Framework 2020-2024 issued by Hampshire County Council mirrors a similar framework announced last autumn, except that the new framework covers smaller-scale works.
It is for the procurement and delivery of a wide range of civil engineering, transportation and infrastructure development-related construction work packages between a value of £50,000 and £10m and will operate for four years from 1 April.
The contract award notice states that while the upper estimated value for the framework is £500m over its four-year life, there is no guarantee of works. ‘It is however envisaged that the annual throughput will be in the region £50m per annum.’
The framework will cover the South of England and is split into two lots with an estimated upper value of £250m each. Most contractors are on both.
