II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): The Homes and

may decide to take advantage of this framework. The framework will be for
3 years and be split into 3 regional clusters each with 6 to 12 members.
The Northern framework will cover the North East, North West and Yorkshire
and Humberside, the Midlands framework will cover East & West Midlands and
East of England, and the Southern framework will cover South East, South
West and London.
The framework will cover the full range of development activity including,
but not limited to, the raising and/or deployment of
development/construction finance, the design and construction of
residential and other buildings (including infrastructure), and the
sales/lettings and marketing of properties. Framework members will be
responsible for securing sales of the completed homes.
The framework may also be used to secure the expertise of framework
members in comprehensive development management across the following
areas, which may be drawn down independently to works elements - project
and programme management, brokering finance and funding, land and
planning, design and technical, commercial, construction management, and
sales and marketing.
The framework is being procured by the HCA but is open to Regional
Development Agencies, Local Authorities, Urban Regeneration Companies,
Urban Development Corporations, Registered Social Landlords and other

Call offs from the framework will be via a competitive process to identify

influenced by prevailing market conditions and the availability of
funding. Potential exists however for certain opportunities to be excluded
from the framework and these include simple sale of land (including plot
sales), sites allocated for social housing, or where there is no agreement
to use the framework when working jointly with local partners.
The framework will be open to other contracting authorities to use at
their discretion.
The following broad core areas of works and service may be covered by the
framework - housebuilding; mixed use development; city centre sites; and
estate regeneration. The following specialist areas are also covered -
small sites; elderly, specialist and high dependency accommodation; and
historic buildings and conversions.
The references to numbers of operators invited or appointed at II.1.4 and
