Battle starts for £1bn SEWSCAP 3 framework

Contractors are being invited to bid for places on the third generation South East & Mid Wales collaborative construction framework.

A raft of contractors, including BAM, Kier, Interserve, ISG, Morgan Sindall and Willmott Dixon, will be fighting it out to renew places.

Known as SEWSCAP 3, the prized four-year framework is used by over 20 Welsh councils and public bodies for schools and public building works.

This time around the number of lots has been raised from six to eleven to broaden opportunities for smaller regional builders and temporary accommodation suppliers.

• Lot 2:  Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Monmouthshire, Caerphilly – £250,000 – £1.5m
• Lot 3 :  RCT, Merthyr, Bridgend – £250,000 – £1.5m
• Lot 4:   Cardiff and Newport £250,000 – £1.5m
• Lot 5:   Mid Wales (Powys ONLY) £1.5m – £5m
• Lot 6:   All – £1.5m – £3m
• Lot 7:   All – £3m – £5m
