Frameworks

If you need a compliant procurement route Wernick company divisions have membership of a number of national and local frameworks.

What are the benefits of a framework?

Efficiencies

  • No need for costly procurement exercises; frameworks pre-qualify suppliers to ensure your building is supplied by industry leaders at competetive prices.
  • You can further streamline the procurement process on select frameworks with a single action tender for projects of any value.

Compliance

  • Wernick only supply to frameworks which comply with UK regulations and EU directives. All national frameworks we supply to use OJEU compliant agreements.

What does it take to become a supplier?

To ensure their clients are receiving the best possible service, framework providers put their suppliers through a rigorous selection process. Potential suppliers are assessed on a wide variety of criteria and need to demonstrate high standards throughout their business to be selected. Some of the criteria that Wernick Buildings have been assessed on include:

  • Health and Safety
  • Expertise
  • Quality Management
  • Financial Stability
  • Environmental Management
  • Social Value Efforts

Wernick Group companies are currently members of the following frameworks:

CIF funding support

The Condition Improvement fund is capital funding given to eligible sixth form colleges and academies, primarily to ensure buildings are kept safe and in good working order. Funds could be allocated to address health and safety, building compliance or building condition issues.

Can i use CIF funding for a new building?

Yes, funding can be used to address overcrowding issues or in some circumstances create additional places. There are three categories of projects that are eligible for CIF funding: condition, condition with expansion, and expansion. Of the two bids that a college or academy can make, only one can be an expansion project.

Will modular construction help my CIF bid submission?

CIF projects are judged on three weighted criteria: project need (60%), project planning (15%) and project cost (25%). The project need criterion has been reduced this year to give the cost criterion extra weight, and this is where modular construction can benefit your bid. By specifying a more efficient construction process, with less waste and shorter programmes, you’ll be able to demonstrate a cost-efficient approach to your expansion project.
