Civil contractors have urged the UK Government to adopt a \u2018clearing house\u2019 for construction frameworks to check they are fair and do not overlap<\/h2>\n

The Civil Engineering Contractors Association<\/a> (CECA) has said that recent years have seen a proliferation of construction frameworks on a national, regional and local level, bringing increased costs for contractors and ultimately the UK taxpayer.<\/p>\n

Commenting, CECA director of external affairs, Marie-Claude Hemming said: \u201cWith the launch of yet another national framework for construction this week, we are calling on the government to act to ensure the UK\u2019s increasingly fragmented framework landscape is fit for purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrameworks are often launched with the express intention of saving money for the client, but their proliferation adds costs to contractors\u2019 businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis leads to punitive bidding costs and contributes to uncertainty in the sector, hampering our members\u2019 ability to plan for future work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hemming added: \u201cCECA has highlighted the potential pitfalls of this system, in particular with regards to the imminent Crown Commercial Service<\/a> construction framework.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis situation has come about from Government inaction rather than design. It is now seven years since the government received\u00a0a cross-industry recommendation\u00a0<\/a>to establish a \u2018clearing house\u2019 to avoid unfair and overlapping frameworks. Now is the time to revisit this work to secure better outcomes for customers and a more sustainable industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
