The Innovation Chain North (ICN) framework has 29 contractors across 12 contractor lots. The successful contractors were awarded a place on the framework following a robust procurement exercise which evaluated suppliers on their technical competence, price and commitment to social value.
Price 60%
Quality 30%
Social Value 10%
The traditional construction lots (H1 & H2; L1 – L6) are divided into two value bandings and are further subdivided geographically across the North West and North East geographies.
The modular principle contractor lots (P1 & P2) and the groundworker lots (G1 & G2) do not have a value banding and are simply divided geographically between the North West and North East.
