Benefits of using this framework
This is the fifth generation Southern Construction Framework (SCF) in the South of England – a joint venture between Devon County Council, Hampshire County Council, and Haringey Council.
The SCF framework allows public bodies from London, the South East and South West to procure construction projects worth over £1m with pre-checked and verified companies. Over the past 14 years it has delivered over £8bn worth of combined construction schemes, establishing it as a leading procurement framework.
Using SCF Construct gives instant access to Tilbury Douglas (as an industry leading contractor) who will help improve the predictability of project cost, time and quality performance. For example, we have assisted clients from all sectors and have help SCF deliver on average 10% added value on every project, making client investments go further.
SCF has also produced a number of useful resources and tools to provide end users with framework selection and market intelligence, and to support the delivery of biodiversity net gains and carbon reduction.
Key focus of this framework: Early engagement & collaboration
The framework is modelled on ‘Two Stage Open book’ procurement, which makes the procurement process as effective as it can be through early engagement and collaborative working. As a framework contractor, Tilbury Douglas engages regularly in specialist Working Groups to share industry best practice, lessons learned and innovations with clients and other framework partners. This collaborative approach has led to an average Client Satisfaction score of 92% across the framework.
