The Frameworks established by Scape, as empa’s Managing Agent, are standing offer arrangements which have been procured to meet the requirements of the Public Contract Regulations.
Scape has administered the procurement process in collaboration with the empa Working Groups. The frameworks are available for use by any East Midlands public sector organisation, by signing the Scape Access Agreement.
The projects covered by the frameworks are for contracting work and include new build, extensions and refurbishment projects.
The frameworks have a range of project values for which they are appropriate.
All frameworks will run for 4 years. Options are included for designers to be procured by the client or the contractor. All are based on the NEC family of contracts.
The larger values are target cost contracts and the lower values lump sum.
Further details about the frameworks are provided on the Scape web site together with a download of the Access Agreement.
