CP2236-22 Southern Construction Framework Comprehensive Accreditation Scheme Provider (CASP)

The Southern Construction Framework (SCF) has been set up as a collaborative initiative between Devon County Council (DCC) and Hampshire County Council (HCC), as a multi lot regional construction, consultancy and housing framework currently there are 33 contractors engaged by the frameworks (theoretically more places could be awarded than the current number of appointed contractors based on the Lot structure having diversity but in practice the actual number of contractors is smaller). The frameworks draw together the existing construction framework expertise into overarching arrangements. Under the terms of the Frameworks each of the appointed contractors will be required to hold accreditation to ensure that they meet key standards in Health and Safety, insurance, trade accreditations and financial soundness as well as other requirements more specifically identified within the tender pack. The Authority requires a comprehensive accreditation scheme provider to assess, accredit and support the monitoring of contractors engaged on the SCF for when the current Comprehensive Accreditation Scheme Provider's contract comes to an end in February 2023.
