Enabling customers to access our services and benefits at an earlier stage
Step Energy has access to a number of Frameworks through Stepnell, giving us the opportunity to understand and mitigate challenges before they occur and providing better value for money, whilst remaining in full compliance with procurement regulations.
Frameworks allow you to engage with our services at an earlier stage than traditional procurement routes.
Benefits of working with us via a framework include:
- Access to experienced delivery, commercial and pre-construction teams, whose advice early in the design and procurement process adds value through consideration of delivery techniques (such as Modern Methods of Construction) procurement routes and value add strategies, such as whole life costing and carbon reduction.
- Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) allowing collaboration with stakeholders to understand project drivers and objectives, ensuring these are considered at every stage.
- Collaboration and advice on balance between design specification and your budget.
- Early consideration of your social value ambitions, incorporated from the outset. We demonstrate the true social value delivered back to your community through your project.
- All opportunities to build and operate your building in the most sustainable manner are explored, maximised and capitalised, throughout the design, construction and operation of your building. Utilising our parent company, Stepnell Limited.
- Openness and collaboration throughout all aspects of the process including commercial, programme, logistics and risk management.
