The existing agreement expires in November 2015 and YORbuild councils like Leeds, Rotherham and Scarborough are now pressing for firms to express an interest.
YORbuild is split into four regions with each region subdivided into specific lots based on project size and type, including new-build housing projects.
Regions and max forecast spend
- East: £680m spend on 7 lots
- West: £880m spend on 7 lots
- South: £350m spend on 6 lots
- North: £108m spend on on 16 lots
The Framework Agreement will initially be for a period of 4 years, but has an option to extend for a further 2 years.
YORbuild2 will be enhanced to bring in improvements including a different lotting structure as well as use of other forms of contract.
BIM capability is also likely to feature in the new framework and changes to recent EU procurement regulations will be incorporated where necessary.
The existing YORbuild framework has seen £700m of turnover to date on 355 projects and has achieved efficiency savings in excess of £55m for its public sector client users.
Interested firms have until 12 December to submit prequal documentation. Those shortlisted will be invited to tender in March next year.
Firms need to register at the YORtender website.
