            The new Framework will enable the Council to create much stronger link with local businesses and bring SMEs in to the supply chain to allow them to deliver capital works / projects for the Council.

            The Framework will provide the opportunity to deliver value for money for the Council for the build of new and expanded schools with pre agreed fixed rates for overheads and profits.

            The Framework will enable the Council to accelerate the procurement timeline by either direct award to contractors or mini competition.

The following options were considered and rejected:

            To do nothing. This option was rejected as the Council is committed to creating stronger link with local businesses and bring SMEs in to the supply chain to allow them to deliver capital works / projects for the Council.

            To continue to use existing regional and national Frameworks. The Council will still have access to these Framework in particular for works that exceed £5m but the proposed new Framework for projects less than £5m in value provides an additional opportunity both for the Council and the local Peterborough supply chain.
