Six North Wales councils plan £400m framework

Six councils across North Wales are planning to invite bids shortly for a next generation construction framework.

The councils propose to renew the current North Wales Construction Framework and extend its scope to cater for all construction projects over £250,000.

Existing framework firms include Balfour Beatty, Kier, Galliford Try, Read, Willmott Dixon and Wynne Construction.

They now face a fight for places on the new framework which will be broken down into seven lots based on region and project size.

North Wales Construction Framework 2

• Lot 1: West Wales (projects worth £250,000-£1m)
• Lot 2: East Wales (projects worth £250,000-£1m)
• Lot 3: Regional band (projects worth £1m-£2.5m)
• Lot 4: Regional band (projects worth £2.5m-£5.5m)
• Lot 5: Regional band (projects worth £5.5m-£10m)
• Lot 6: Regional band (projects worth £10m and over)

The framework will be used to deliver public projects in the region and previously consisted mainly of school projects. The Blue Light services will also be free to use the selected panel of firms.
