PS-Works: Public Sector Construction Works

For design and build, build only and refurbishment projects

Reference: SBS/18/DT/PZC/9332

Framework Agreement Description

The aim of the PS-Works: Public Sector Construction Works Framework is to provide the NHS and wider public sector clients with a compliant route to market for the provision of quality and value for money construction works projects from a mixture of tier 1 and regional contractors. The framework provides pricing structures such as overheads and profits, design fees and rate cards for members of staff and is suitable for design and build, build only and refurbishment projects. We have designed our frameworks with flexibility in mind. This includes providing flexible choice of contact terms, wider regionalised supplier base, clear pricing structure and collaborative framework terms using the FAC-1. This framework for construction works covers; all types of building and construction works; design works; alteration and refurbishment, which includes electrics and plumbing; works packages including demolition and remediation; as well as additional services that include planning application and full architectural design.

In order to ensure a mixture of tier 1 and local contractors, bidders were resticted to be awarded onto two neighbouring lots only. As such we are able to offer a compliant route to market with suitably sized Contractors for for each value band. A list of each awarded contractor by lot and value band is seen below.

Scope of the framework
• All types of building & construction works - Including, but not limited to new builds, refurbishments and associated mechanical, electrical, civil engineering and services works.
• Related design and other services as part of a design and build or construction only project.
• Alteration and refurbishment as well as building maintenance including modifications to the buildings which may include electrics, plumbing and waste connections; this could include upgrading existing services and carrying out any maintenance work and repairs.
• Enabling works packages which includes demolition, remediation, asbestos and contaminant handling, and civil engineering works that are necessary to the building project itself.
• Contractors are able to provide additional services that include but are not limited to a feasibility study, planning application, full architectural design, enabling works, site works, landscaping, and soft landings as part of a full turnkey package.

Framework Principles
The Framework is established under 8 core objectives which the Contractors are required to embrace and commit to the realisation of:
1. Social Value - NHS SBS and Participating Authorities have a universal and strong social conscience and have embraced the implications of the Social Value. Contractor(s) are expected to align to the principles, obligations and aspirations set out in the Social Value Act (2012) when delivering projects under the Framework Agreement, with
regards to their behaviour and culture in respect of Corporate Social Responsibility.
2. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) - Encouraging the use of modern methods of construction in line with government strategies. Contractor(s) are expected to embrace MMC in line with all current and future government strategies to ensure works are completed more cost effectively, while also maintaining build quality.
3. Value for Money - Provide demonstrable value for money for public sector Participating Authorities including delivering projects on budget, on time and with additional added value through social commitments - As a minimum, contractors are required to deliver projects on budget and on time. However, the Framework will evidence value for money beyond this to include social value and long-term operational cost benefits.
4. Collaboration - Collaborative partnership between Contractors, NHS SBS and Participating Authorities to continuously improve processes and maximise long term investment within the public sector - NHS SBS will maximise the impact of the collective group of contractors, ranging in size and location across the UK. Contractors will have a wealth of lessons learned to help improve local competition mechanisms and maximise early involvement in projects.
5. Participating Authority Satisfaction - Provide guaranteed high-quality Participating Authority satisfaction to all public sector organisations and become the framework of choice for healthcare and wider public sector projects - Participating Authority satisfaction is essential to retain and attract Participating Authorities to the Framework.
6. Quality - Maximise innovation and best practice within the industry to maintain a quality driven agenda through all project stages - It is critical that all Projects are delivered to the exact quality specification requirements set out by the Participating Authority to minimise operational impact.
7. Procurement - Improve procurement processes by early, open, and transparent supply chain engagement including robust and well-defined processes and fair payment terms - To maintain fair and sustainable treatment of the supply chain and maximise efficiencies and innovation.
8. Integrated supply chain - The possibility to utilise NHS SBS's extensive range of complimentary frameworks to procure relevant goods and services. Including but not limited to Construction Consultancy Services, Hard and Soft FM, Modular Buildings and Car Park Management and Infrastructure. We have an established, off the shelf supply chain in place within our current portfolio of frameworks which may be used by Principal Contractors and/or participating authorities.

Key benefits for our clients:
• OJEU Compliant
A detailed procurement exercise has taken place therefore no formal tendering is required, saving valuable time & money in the procurement process.
• Mini-Competitions
Ability to tailor individual requirements via the use of further competitions.
• Direct Award
The agreement allows all participating authorities to direct award if the conditions laid out in the framework are met.
• Clear Pricing Structure
Clear regionalised pricing structure for Lots 1-3 and uniform national pricing structure for Lots 4 & 5.
• Form of Call-off Contract
The choice and flexibility to utilise a number of model form contracts such as JCT and NEC.
• Collaborative
The framework is built upon the FAC-1 Contract to ensure collaboration throughout.
• Local and National Contractors
The agreement allows for access to large national Contractors, but also a healthy number of regional SMEs to suit all types of construction projects.
• Government Strategy and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)
Support government strategy by ensuring that social value, sustainability and MMC are incorporated within the agreement to ensure best value is delivered.
• Construction Playbook
Although this framework predates the Playbook, a number of the key themes we have introduced chime with the government's stated aims.
