A new regional framework has been launched to provide a single point of access to works and services for every part of the development process, from design and site preparation through to the construction work itself, and a wide range of consultancy services.
Developed with Contracting Authority Watford Community Housing, the multi-disciplinary framework covers Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and the adjoining counties, as well as north London.
It is suitable for the construction of both homes and non-dwelling units including, shops, offices and light industrial and industrial units, as well as commercial, community and educational buildings.
Jessica John, Director of Framework Partnerships at Pretium Frameworks, said: “We’re delighted to have once again worked with Watford Community Housing, Contracting Authority for a number of our frameworks, to develop this one-stop-shop development solution.
“Intended to ensure best practice, innovation and customer service are at the heart of development activity, this framework is capable of meeting changing needs and supporting with the project management of development works large and small, both domestic and commercial, as well as giving access to a directory of professional services.
“This will be the first in a series of regional development frameworks launched by Pretium over the next couple of years, offering solutions that are bespoke to the areas in which they operate.”
Helen Town, Group Director of Property and Partnerships at Watford Community Housing, added: “We’re really pleased to be working with Pretium to create a specialist framework which will serve the needs of organisations in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and will enable users to benefit from the unique local knowledge of the suppliers.
“It has been developed with an emphasis on both value for money and innovation through close collaborative partnerships between all parties and we’re looking forward to seeing the first projects get off the ground.”
The framework is split into 13 Lots, as follows, and the structure has been designed to give SMEs an equal opportunity, with an intentional overlap between the values of Lots 1 and 2.
