The Framework may also include general associated construction services, service installations, design services (contractor and otherwise) and associated infrastructure works including hard or soft landscaping.

The estimated Framework value range of £5 million to £25 million GBP is over the total of 4 years. This is reflective of variations of budgetary provision and anticipated work from 3rd party partner clients. The lower end of the spend range is more reflective of the Council's potential spend, with the higher end incorporating other potential public sector partners both within and outside of the Staffordshire geographical border.

Whilst from a Councils perspective pipeline of work the Framework is likely to see a predominance of projects typically ranging between £0.5 million and £2 million, the Framework may be commissioned for projects above and below this range.

However, there is no commitment at the time of tendering from any parties and this should be taken into consideration when bidding. Note – this is anticipated and approximate with no guarantee on actual figures.

From time-to-time Staffordshire County Council may ask Providers for a bond or parent company guarantee to facilitate the construction project work.

Payments may be made following acceptance by the banking agents of Staffordshire County Council.

Legal form to be taken by the group of economic operators to whom the contract is to be awarded – no special legal form is required by the grouping of providers but each provider will be required to become jointly or severally responsible for the contract before acceptance.
