BAM secures place on cwas2 framework.

BAM has announced that it has secured a place on Crown Commercial Service’s £21bn Construction Works and associated Services2 framework (CWAS2)

The CWAS2 framework has been developed for government projects and is expected to be utilised by central government departments and all other UK public sector bodies. The framework covers the UK and Northern Ireland for both civil and construction works.

CCS supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services.

BAM has been appointed to both Lots, for construction and civil works over four years.

Lot 4 of the CWAS2 framework has an estimated value of £1bn to be allocated between six contractors. Lot 5, the General construction National Lot £80m+, has an estimated value of £20bn which will be allocated across 20 firms for both construction and civil schemes.

BAM Construct UK, in conjunction with BAM Nuttall and BAM Contractors (Ireland) came together to submit a single tender.

‘Delivering net zero carbon and innovative ways of working’

John Wilkinson, chief operating officer, BAM UK and Ireland, commented: “BAM’s success is based on our being able to demonstrate all the capabilities that the government’s Playbook requires: a whole life value approach to assets, delivered faster and greener, adding value to the communities around us and driving innovation.

“This leads to better outcomes and productivity for those who use our many public buildings.

“Alongside all our technical expertise is our experience and attitude as a trusted partner, working collaboratively and solving problems in a transparent way.

“Combining these two attributes enables us to have a leadership role in digitalisation, delivering net zero carbon and innovative ways of working such as through repeatable designs.”

Additionally, BAM has been at the forefront of creating the platform approach being developed presently by the Construction Industry Hub, and is one of only four European built environment firms to be given a prestigious A-rating for climate change by the CDP.

The new agreement adopts the principles of the Construction Playbook, rationalising frameworks in partnership between Crown Commercial Service (CCS), NHS England and NHS Improvement.

NHS England and NHS Improvement leads the NHS in England sets its strategic direction through the NHS Long Term Plan, and funds key priorities for improvement.

ProCure23 is the fourth generation of the ProCure route to market for the provision of design and construction services to NHS capital projects, with an estimated cumulative value of £9bn over its four-year lifespan.
