Construction – London up to £10M Framework
Introduction
The Construction – London up to £10M Framework, managed by the National Framework Partnership, is a dedicated procurement route designed to support public sector construction initiatives within London. This framework is active until 12th May 2024 and is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). It is structured to facilitate the engagement of skilled and qualified construction contractors for projects that do not exceed the £10 million threshold. The framework is part of the broader 'Construction' category, providing a structured approach to sourcing competent contractors capable of delivering high-quality construction projects in the capital.
Context & Use Case
The framework is specifically tailored for public sector bodies in London seeking to undertake construction projects with a budget cap of £10 million. It serves as an essential tool for contracting authorities who require swift access to a pool of pre-vetted contractors. By utilising this framework, public sector buyers can streamline their procurement processes, ensuring compliance with procurement regulations while benefiting from a competitive marketplace. The framework is particularly useful for authorities looking to undertake projects such as school refurbishments, healthcare facility upgrades, or municipal infrastructure improvements, where time, cost-efficiency, and regulatory compliance are critical factors.
Scope of Services

Typical services available through the framework include: 1. General building works including new builds and refurbishments 2. Mechanical and electrical installations 3. Civil engineering works 4. Groundworks and landscaping 5. Finishing trades such as plastering, painting, and decorating 6. Roofing and cladding 7. Installation of fixtures and fittings This list provides an indicative overview of the services provided; however, the actual services can vary depending on the specific needs of a project.
Who Can Apply
The framework is designed for construction contractors and firms that have the capability and resources to undertake public sector projects within the specified budgetary constraints. Suitable applicants are those with a proven track record in handling projects of similar scale and complexity. Unlike a DPS, this framework does not allow for continuous application, so interested suppliers should ensure they meet the necessary qualifications and criteria before the application deadline to be considered for inclusion.
