Southern Construction Framework appoints Mace and Corstorphine & Wright

Southern Construction Framework (SCF) has appointed a pair of firms to help deliver new public sector projects across the South.

Mace, a programme and project delivery consultant and construction group, has secured a position on the framework alongside Corstorphine & Wright, a London-based architectural practice.

The new SCF Consult expands on the success of the previous generation of the consultancy framework.

It complements the SCF integrated team approach to two-stage open book procurement, which the group says will offer clients greater flexibility in contracting and pricing models.

This will enable public sector organisations across London, the South East and South West to procure the services of both Mace and Corstorphine & Wright in the delivery of key projects.

Mace has been designated lead supplier for cost, project and programme management, while Corstorphine & Wright leads for design, engineering, surveying and strategy.

Both suppliers are also available for full multi-disciplinary project delivery commissions.

Adam Sanford, operations lead for the South East and London at SCF, said: “We’re committed to offering public sector bodies great value through SCF.

“Through this time of policy review with the new parliament in session, the SCF Consult team can help public sector bodies across health, education, leisure and local authority to navigate the changing landscape.”

Kingsley Clarke, head of SCF for the South West, added: “SCF Consult provides dependable expertise to clients across the South West, enabling the delivery of essential projects that matter to local communities.

“Together with Mace and Corstorphine & Wright, we’re excited about development across the South of England.”

Mace has delivered a range of projects through SCF Consult to date, including the Alexandra Theatre Rejuvenation for Arun District Council, Bransbury Community Leisure Centre for Portsmouth County Council and the Schools for the Future programme on behalf of Central Bedfordshire Council.

Corstorphine & Wright’s projects have included the New Exeter Police Station for Devon and Cornwall Police, as well as The Northgate Yard, delivering new leisure facilities in Bridgwater for Somerset Council.
