Published requirement description

The Ministry of Justice (referred to as the MoJ or ‘Authority’ throughout), is intending to identify constructors for frameworks based on three anticipated project value bands between £0-30 million. These are referred to as the MoJ Constructor Services Frameworks or "Frameworks". Bespoke frameworks have been prepared for each value band.

The MoJ Constructor Services Frameworks have a potential future total combined spend of up to £2.5 billion over a five-year duration, with the possibility of £1 billion of additional spend should the Frameworks across all three value bands be extended for a period of two years.

The MoJ Constructor Services Frameworks will be for use across the department and will see contracts awarded to suppliers for the delivery of construction works and related activities. These activities will include, but not be limited to, new build, refurbishment, maintenance and minor works and associated services.

Bespoke frameworks have been prepared for each value band. The three Construction Frameworks are referred to as Framework A, Framework B, Framework C. Frameworks A and B are further broken down into four regions. Each region within each value band is being procured through a different Lot and therefore subject to a separate competition.

Framework C will establish a single national framework and is therefore covered by a single Lot.

Framework A comprises of Four (4) Lots (Regions) for the Constructor Services for projects with an individual value up to £5m. Anticipated total value of this Framework over five (5) years is expected to be £1.116bn. Lots 1 - 4 seek to appoint Constructors to Framework A.

Framework B comprises of Four (4) Lots (Regions) for the Constructor Services for projects with an individual anticipated value between £5m and £10m. Anticipated total value of this Framework over five (5) years is expected to be £750m. Lots 5 -8 seek to appoint Constructors to Framework B.

Framework C comprises of One (1) national Lot (Region) for the Constructor Services for projects with an individual anticipated value between £10m and £30m. Anticipated total value of this lot over five (5) years is expected to be £625m. Lot 9 seeks to appoint Constructors to Framework C.

  • Recurrence: after 3 or 6 years of Framework Awards depending upon extension option chosen.
