Frameworks
SWPA’s fully compliant frameworks are free-to-use and can be used by local authorities, social landlords and other public sector bodies to procure works, products and services for the construction, refurbishment and maintenance of social housing and public buildings.
SWPA’s compliant frameworks can be used by local authorities, social landlords and other public sector bodies to procure works, goods and services for the construction, refurbishment and maintenance of social housing and public buildings.
Frameworks are umbrella agreements that set out the terms, that include specification, quality, price, quantity, under which individual contracts (call offs) can be made during the lifetime of the framework (normally 4 years). Legislation governs the way frameworks are run.
Suppliers compete through open competition to be appointed to a framework. Publicly funded contracting authorities – our clients - then call off individual contracts.
Take a look at our easy guide to using SWPA frameworks below.
Frameworks are agreements that set out the specification, scope, quality, price and other requirements of building contracts. Suppliers compete through a competitive procurement process to be appointed on to a framework. Publicly funded bodies access the suppliers that have successfully been awarded to the framework through their chosen ‘call off’ process in line with the framework terms.
