CAD 21 - Contract Procurement

In addition to the traditional route CAD 21 have gained experience in a wide range of alternative procurement methods including the following:-

Partnerships

Cad 21 has partnered with contractors and architectural practices on a number of schemes to provide clients with a single source contact as well as a harmony between design and installation.

Framework agreements

CAD 21 have experience of framework agreements with both Healthcare Trusts and local Authorities and are looking forward to expanding this very successful procurement route.

Private Finance Initiative

CAD 21 have recently completed the mechanical and electrical design in two large PFI schools in Doncaster and a PFI site wide energy scheme for South Tees NHS Trust at Friarage Hospital Northallerton.

E-procurement and e-auctions

We have been working with Business Link to expand our knowledge on this new form of procurement to ensure we are ready for the change when it inevitably occurs.

Procure 21

CAD 21 are currently involved in several large Procure 21 schemes for Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Trust at St Nicholas Hospital and Newcastle Primary Care Trust, the first of which was named in the One North East Constructing Excellence Best Practice Awards.

Design and Build

Being a forward thinking practice Cad 21 have a flexible approach to procurement and as well as continuing to carry out designs through the traditional route have adapted to the fast track nature of design and build schemes.
