TWO notices have been issued by leading digital procurement specialist Pagabo to announce contract award decisions for the National Framework for Major Works 2026 and the National Framework for Developer-Led Schemes 2026.
The frameworks are both set to launch on 19 October following the conclusion of mandatory eight-working day standstill periods. The National Framework for Major Works is set to include recognisable names including Morgan Sindall, Wates and BAM. Meanwhile, the National Framework for Developer-Led Schemes contract awards include Avison Young, Savills, Morgan Sindall Consortium, Capital & Centric and Cityheart.
Respectively, the Major Works and Developer-Led frameworks have estimated total values of up to £5bn and up to £26bn. Compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, both new frameworks will run for a term of four years and have been brought to market following the formation of a 10-year strategic delivery partnership between YPO and Pagabo. YPO is the centralised procurement authority for the frameworks, while Pagabo is the framework manager responsible for design, delivery and ongoing management.
This marks the third generation of the hugely successful major works framework managed by Pagabo, with previous iterations helping to deliver construction projects with a total value of more than £3bn. Created to connect public sector organisations with appointed contractors that will collaboratively deliver quality service and value for money outcomes, the framework agreement can be used by sectors such as local government, NHS and health service providers, blue light, housing and education.
David Llewellyn, construction and infrastructure director at Pagabo, said: “Our major works framework has a successful and recognisable legacy. Like its previous iterations, we expect this instalment will quickly begin to support the public sector in transforming built environment investments into positive outcomes for people, places and the planet.
“Through our role as framework manager, we will help clients procure confidently and compliantly, with efficiency and powerful insights offered by purpose-built digital systems. Meanwhile, as people have come to expect from our frameworks, the public sector will be only moments away from an impressive collection of leading contractors vying for new contracts.”
Suppliers appointed to the second generation of the National Framework for Developer-Led Schemes will support the public sector with a range of services including consultancy, legal support and development types. For the first time, development consultants and legal providers have been included to offer clients a turnkey procurement solution that provides ongoing support, full compliance, reduced risk, cost savings, greater collaboration and broader project outcomes.
Jonathan Parker, development director at Pagabo, said: “Our developer-led procurement solution is a unique market leading delivering vehicle capable of bringing client ambitions to fruition and changing the landscape of our built environment, which has also successfully driven forward the regeneration sector in recent years.
“Delivering projects worth £10.7bn in gross development value and more than 36,000 new homes, while overcoming prominent challenges such as viability and risk, we’ve built on the first version of the framework and remain confident that those appointed to this next generation version will be well positioned to ensure continuous quality, value for money, collaboration and impactful social value. We’re now offering a full turnkey solution that the public sector has been crying out for.”
Both new national frameworks cover areas including the North, Midlands, Southwest, and Southeast of England, London, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Appointed suppliers will have access to Pagabo Group’s digital software offerings, including next generation social value platform ImpactOS and contract management platform Sypro, to support with enhancing the full lifecycle of procurement and project delivery.
