	CECA’s director of external affairs Marie-Claude Hemming said: “…while frameworks can be a useful tool to organise and deliver civil engineering projects, they do not always work effectively… We are therefore keen to start a discussion on how we can make frameworks work for everyone. Over the coming year we will be sharing this document with the wider infrastructure community and others, and we hope that our recommendations will become incorporated by our customers and wider government.”		CECA’s director of external affairs Marie-Claude Hemming said: “…while frameworks can be a useful tool to organise and deliver civil engineering projects, they do not always work effectively… We are therefore keen to start a discussion on how we can make frameworks work for everyone.

		+
		+	In June 2019, in response to a perceived proliferation of frameworks CECA called on the government to establish a clearing house to ensure framework agreements are fair and that they do not overlap.
		+
		+	Marie-Claude Hemming said: “While we recognise that frameworks provide the ability to engage a consistent supply chain across a series of similar projects, bringing the benefits of spreading best practice from job to job, we are now in a situation where a contractor tracking future work may see a multiplicity of different routes to market for any one scheme."

	Clients that are continuously commissioning construction work might want to reduce procurement timescales, learning curves and other risks by using framework agreements. This allows the client to invite tenders from suppliers of goods and services to be carried out over a period of time on a call-off basis as and when required.

	Depending on the size and complexity of the anticipated projects, the supplier might provide a pricing mechanism or risk adjustment mechanism for different types of contract that might be used, for example a minor works contract, a cost reimbursable contract, a design and build contract, and so on. A suitable option would then be selected by the client depending on the nature of the projects that emerged.

	The advantage to the supplier is that the likelihood of them being awarded a project when they are already on a framework contract should be higher than it would be under an open procurement process. Some suppliers however complain that having already been appointed on a framework agreement, they may then have to bid for individual projects anyway, and after a great deal of time and effort may not be awarded any projects.

		+	In November 2018, The Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) published research suggesting that frameworks fail to deliver the work contractors expect and put them to unnecessary effort.
		+
		+	Its recommendations include:
		+
		+	* Once established, frameworks must be used by customers.
		+	* Frameworks should deliver a specified minimum value of work.
		+	* The number of companies on a framework should be proportionate.
		+	* Customers should refrain from using multiple frameworks for greater flexibility.
		+	* Framework operators should only consider the use of mini competitions if there is a clear commercial reason for doing so.
		+	* Pre Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) for frameworks should adopt proposals being developed by the industry for a single industry standard approach.
