FRAMEWORK ACCESS

Members can access the framework via mini-tender or direct award, offering flexibility in procurement processes.

CONTRACTOR SELECTION

The framework delivers a range of national and local contractors with a sophisticated Capability Matrix underpinning the call off criteria. This helps to ensure the most suitable contractors are selected based on the specifics of the scheme and member aspirations.

FAC-1 INTEGRATION

The FAC-1 Framework Alliance Contract is designed to integrate projects under JCT, NEC and other project contracts.

AWARD EFFICIENCY

The framework is backed by an extensive catalogue of schedules of rates to bring further speed and efficiency to the award of contracts, and has at its core standardised processes which improve project development and management.

DYNAMIC ESG DELIVERY

The framework has been carefully considered to align with the Government’s recommendations for Constructing the Gold Standard, emphasising quality, innovation and sustainability. Through a collaborative structure core group defence within the Framework Alliance Contract, EN:Procure and contractors will work together to reduce inflationary impacts on members, understand and map supply chains, generate greater social value and accelerate our contractors and members’ journeys to net zero

WHAT’S INCLUDED

The framework includes dynamic models for ESG delivery, reflecting many of the themes in the government’s Constructing the Gold Standard report. Contractors are required to deliver one ESG unit per £50,000 contract spend to provide a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits for communities served by Efficiency North’s membership of social housing providers. Social value outcomes are measured through the National TOMS system.
