CWM3 is a publicly owned and managed framework, intended to deliver general construction and building services work. The main areas of activity will comprise of individual construction projects or programmes, including new build, extensions, remodelling, retrofit, refurbishment, renovation and repair work, mechanical and electrical services, demolition and enabling works, fit-out and interiors, civils, landscaping, specialist installations and infrastructure works, and may also include design and other services as required to develop and construct the works.

Contractor Partners selected to join the framework are expected to demonstrate a strong collaborative working ethos - engaging openly and closely with the CWM Framework Management Team, client organisations, consultants, and other Contractor partners - and to provide clear support throughout the pre construction period. Their performance will be monitored against a comprehensive set of performance indicators.

The framework will consist of 3 Lots as follows:

- Lot 1Minor Works (works generally £250,000 to £5,000,000) with 8 Contractor Partners.
- Lot 2Medium Works (works generally £2,000,000 to £15,000,000) with 6 Contractor

Partners.

- Lot 3Major Works (works generally over £10,000,000) with 6 Contractor Partners.

The Framework sets out a number of Permitted Forms of Call-Off Contract which are available for authorities to use. Full details are set out in Schedule 2 to the Framework, but these allow the flexibility for authorities to use the CWM Model Form of Call-Off Contracts or utilise any of the NEC or JCT forms with or without their own amendments. In addition, there is scope to use alternative contract forms including, without limitation, alliancing forms of contract.

Please note that an award of a Call-Off is for the entirety of the Project covered by an authority within its Call-Off process as detailed within the Operations Manual. Authorities may enter into contracts following the expiry of the Framework if such contract is captured within the scope of a Call-Off Process awarded and entered into prior to the expiry of the Framework (e.g. PCSA is entered into with the ability to issue a notice to proceed to a Works Contract).

CWM is committed to complying with all mandatory requirements set out in the National Association of Construction Frameworks (NACF) Regional Framework Accreditation Attributes, ensuring its continued membership of the NACF.

In addition, CWM will strive to fulfil the NACF's core objectives by:

- sharing best practice with fellow members, framework users and the wider public sector;
- providing guidance and support to public sector organisations where requested;
- promoting social value through procurement and construction framework activity;
- strengthening links between local and central government on construction related matters.

Following publication of this notice, Acivico DCFM Ltd. will observe the mandatory standstill period, which will end at midnight on 25 September 2026, and Acivico will not enter into the Framework Agreement before 28 September 2026.
