Framework Benefits
Key aims of South West Building Construction Framework
To eliminate:
Undelivered programmes resulting in a loss of time, money, quality and
reputation
A Lack of Contractor Interest in Projects
Higher costs associated with 'one off' solutions
To introduce:
Procurement Cost Savings
Cost of Individual OJEU Tenders - £50,000 to £100,000
Cost of Individual Frameworks - £100,000 to £400,000
Costs of Detailed Mini Competitions - £5,000 to £50,000
Savings from Economies of Scale through:
Aggregated purchasing by multiple public bodies
Bigger overall pool of work
Continuity of work for contractors
Retention of project teams
Savings from Time Benefits
Constructors engaged earlier for collaborative working
Reduction of Risks (time and cost benefits)
Increased predictability of construction costs
Reduction in design problems realised during construction
Reduction in construction problems that are only realised when on site
Increased predictability of programme
Benefits from Early Contractor Involvement leading to:
Improved buildability
Cost reductions from collaborative design
Improved value engineering
Better use of supply chain
Greater cost certainty when work commences
Substantially improved construction time certainty
Additional Scope to add Value
Potential to aggregate programmes of work and save additional costs
Potential to aggregate material buying across projects and across organisations
Potential to further strengthen design collaboration
