Strategic Framework Agreements

The Assets and Facilities Service is responsible for the management and procurement of all building construction work on behalf of the Council which is funded from non-devolved budgets. Maintained schools are free to make their own arrangements for work funded from their own budgets but it is recommended they take advice from the Assets Manager. Church schools are subject to different arrangements and come under the responsibility of the relevant Diocesan Authority.

In order to fulfill its role the Council is keen to benefit from the advantages that a partnering approach can bring to its construction activities and so have Strategic Framework Agreements/Partnering agreements in place.
