We are a public sector construction framework helping other public sector organisations with the procurement of their construction projects.
With over 14 years experience, we have delivered over £8 billion worth of combined construction schemes, establishing us as a leading procurement framework.
Our framework is modelled on ‘Two Stage Open book’ procurement, which makes the procurement process as effective as it can be through early engagement and collaborative working.
Using SCF Construct will give you instant access to industry leading contractors who will help improve the predictability of project cost, time and quality performance. Our contractor’s have assisted clients from all sectors and have helped us deliver on average 10% added value on every project, making your investment go further.
SCF Construct can also be used with our Consultant Framework, SCF Consult. Both Frameworks can be accessed individually or used together to provide a seamless end to end delivery solution.

SELECTION METHODS AND FORM/ TYPE OF CONTRACT
Mini Competition (Two Stage Open Book)
1st Stage
The mini competition stage is where bidders compete for the contract based on their capacity, capability, stability, experience and strengths of their supply chain. This stage acts as an opportunity for you (the client) to review the approaches of bidding contractors and compare their rates for profit, fees, overheads and other additional costs associated with the project. From this, you will be able to select the most suitable contractor that can fulfil your operational requirements.
2nd Stage
The contractor you choose, and their key supply chain members are engaged as early as possible. They become part of the pre-construction team with your key stakeholders, professional advisors and supply chain members. The team will work to an agreed objective, cost and programme. They will fully scope the project and assess risks early on. This reduces any chance of unforeseen issues occurring later in the project that impact costs and deadlines.
Direct Award
New to our latest generation is our direct award option in addition to mini-competition.
Direct award allows clients to appoint a contractor from the framework without further mini competition. Clients must demonstrate that the direct award option provides best value. SCF can advise how to achieve this and support clients through this process.
NEC/JCT
Typically NEC/JCT but any form supported including client specific amendments
Construct only
Where the contracting authority employ their own consultants, or in-house designers, and the contractor is first engaged by the client as a member of the project team to contribute to the pre-construction stage before satisfying requirements and being awarded a works contract.
Design and Build
Where the contractor provides design services, including Contractor Designed Portions, during the pre-construction stage before satisfying requirements and being awarded a works contract. In this instance the client will usually retain a project and cost manager and appropriate design guardians.
