Contractable work values

Willmott Dixon have been appointed to lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework. Running from 2019-2026, the framework enables public sector organisations to access all types of building and civil engineering projects.

The framework is arranged in 11 lots, with lots arranged by value and region. This includes general construction and also specialist market areas:

  • housing
  • high-rise
  • maritime
  • airfields
  • demolition / decommissioning
  • construction management

Individual lots are divided into regional sub-lots appropriate to the market sector and value range. The lower value lots support direct access to SME suppliers. All of the commonly used procurement routes, tendering methods, payment arrangements and standard forms of contract are available. Standard common government boilerplate clauses are included for things such as GDPR and intellectual property rights. Individual customers have the freedom to include additional project or customer specific contract amendments. The framework supports the implementation of government policies and strategies:
