II.2.1) Total quantity or scope:
This framework agreement is one of two YORcivil2 Framework Agreements, set up primarily to serve the Yorkshire and Humber region (split geographically between North and East, and South and West areas). The frameworks coverage also extends across a number of areas comprising of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the North East of England as detailed within the volume 1 instructions to tender.
The YORcivil2 frameworks have been established to provide all public sector bodies (and their statutory successors and organisations created as a result of re-organisation or organisational changes) and third sector organisations in the area of coverage above with access to quality contractors under best practice partnering arrangements. Such access will be subject to approval by the contracting authority.
These public sector bodies include central government departments and their agencies, Non-Departmental Government Bodies, Humber Bridge Board, Bridge Boards, Internal Drainage Boards, NHS bodies, Local Authorities (including County Councils, Unitary Authorities, District (Borough) Councils, Town Councils and Parish Councils), Registered Social Landlords (including Registered providers and Housing Associations) and any other category of Social Landlord, Local Authority Regulated companies (including Arms Length Management Organisations), Combined Authorities, Police Authorities, Fire Authorities (including fire and rescue authorities), other emergency services, Educational Establishments (including Schools maintained by a Local Authority, Academies, City Technology Colleges, the Learning and Skills Council, University Technical Colleges, University Purchasing Consortium, Further Education Establishments and Universities) and Registered Charities. The Framework may be used by non Public Sector organisations to comply with conditions associated with the use of public funds for those specific projects.
It is intended that the Framework Agreement will deliver a significant proportion of the civil engineering construction programmes of these public sector bodies. However, these public sector bodies do not guarantee to award a minimum or indeed any value of work through this Framework Agreement and reserve the right to procure works by other means in relation to specific schemes or programmes of work.
For indicative purposes only the potential estimated workload through the life of the framework agreement is 270 000 000 GBP broken down as shown below.
Lot 1 — General Civil Engineering Works 0 GBP— 500 000 GBP estimated potential workload 7 200 000 GBP;

II.2.2) Information about options:
Options:yes
Description of these options:The framework has an option to extend for a further period of 2 years to allow the appointed contractors adequate time to recoup their significant initial investment in establishing processes and procedures that will deliver the improvements that the clients are seeking through this framework. These include Economic Regeneration, Carbon and Waste Reduction, Training and Employment initiatives, training of their staff to new ways of working, BIM and New Models of Construction Procurement.
In addition there will be significant investment required from clients in undertaking the selection and evaluation process, and in particular the training of their staff and consultants to new ways of working. The partnering and collaborative working objectives that will form part of this framework may only be capable of being realised over longer periods of time than 4 years, not least because a number of Local Authorities may only start using this framework when their existing arrangements expire.
