CPC is delighted to announce the launch of the new Crescent Construction Framework - a bespoke procurement solution specifically designed to help public sector organisations deliver construction projects with greater confidence, transparency and efficiency.
Developed in collaboration with specialist construction lawyers Weightmans and construction consultancy Identity Consult, the framework has been purpose-built to simplify construction procurement whilst ensuring compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.
An industry-leading construction procurement solution
This first-of-its-kind national framework has been created to address challenges faced by organisations procuring construction works, identified following extensive market research conducted by CPC.
The result is a modern, market-leading solution that overcomes common obstacles such as limited transparency and flexibility, legal risk and contractual inconsistency.
Key features and benefits for users include:
Fully compliant with the Procurement Act 2023
Pre-drafted contract options developed by specialist construction lawyers
Comprehensive compliance documentation
Ongoing contractor performance monitoring
Open framework with competition refreshed every two years to ensure suppliers remain current and offer value for money
All CPC frameworks support our charity’s Giving Back initiative - reinvesting back into the education sector
