Re-appointed to the South East & Mid Wales Collaborative Construction Framework (SEWSCAP) in 2024, Tilbury Douglas has collaborated as an incumbent on all previous iterations.
Benefits of using this framework
SEWSCAP4 is a successful fourth generation collaborative construction framework in Wales, and has delivered over £1bn of projects. SEWSCAP4 draws together the expertise of pre-qualified, experienced small, medium and large contractors to provide various school and public buildings construction works, as well as modular and demountable solutions, between the values of over £250k to £100m.
Its mission is to achieve best value arrangements for South East & Mid Wales through competitive procurement, whilst driving regeneration, continuous improvement and best practice.
This is achieved through continuous improvement with the involvement of key stakeholders and industry benchmarking.
As a member of the National Association of Construction Frameworks (NACF), SEWSCAP is able to further collaborate on an England and Wales basis, sharing best practice with like-minded national public sector frameworks of a similar nature, which is of benefit to both buyers and contractors.
Contractors are encouraged to work together in a collaborative culture of shared objectives, processes and tools, that will significantly reduce the costs and paperwork previously associated with tendering; and result in fairer income distribution across contractors small and large.
Key focus of this framework: Socially responsible procurement
Cardiff Council is committed to socially responsible procurement and it is expected that buyers and contractors on the framework will deliver social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing through Community Benefits, Ethical Employment, Supporting SMEs and Boosting the Local Economy.
The framework draws upon years of shared learning between buyers and contractors, cultivating long term relationships in an environment of transparent mutual trust and co-operation.
