Pagabo has announced two new decarbonisation frameworks focused on projects across the construction industry
These decarbonisation frameworks work as solutions-based approaches and will add to Pagabo’s existing suite of frameworks on decarbonisation projects.
The frameworks used expert decarbonisation organisations to help new and existing clients.
Each decarbonisation framework is worth £1.6bn and will run for four years. They will have separate contracting authorities.
One framework will concentrate on healthcare schemes and will be hosted by Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). The other framework will be open to all sectors and will be hosted by Hull City Council.
What is the difference between the two decarbonisation frameworks?
Both frameworks will be open to various contractors, suppliers, and consultants. They will be divided into two main parts:
Lot 1 – Retrofit Consultancy
Clients can hire experts (retrofit assessors, coordinators, designers, and evaluators) with relevant accreditations such as PAS2035 or PAS2038.
These accreditations are related to assessing and improving energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings.
Consultants in this lot will help identify areas for improvement, design relevant measures, and monitor retrofit projects. Clients can work with these suppliers to plan decarbonization projects and receive support throughout the process.
Lot 2 – Main Contractor Delivery
Main contractors will be selected to offer complete business solutions to clients. They can directly perform retrofit assessments, calculate costs, involve supply chain partners, and act as a single point of contact.
Lot 2 contains four value bands based on project size and will be divided into three scopes to ensure contractors are experienced in specific markets.
These markets are domestic low-rise, domestic high-rise, and non-domestic (commercial, health, education, and leisure).
The frameworks will be open to all organisations across the country
To cater to all organisations across the country, the frameworks will be divided into 12 geographical regions and will encourage the participation of SMEs and local suppliers.
Once implemented, a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will be established across the frameworks to offer clients even more flexibility.
“The environmental impact of construction has been widely discussed for years, and that conversation continues. There is a wide understanding of the need to design for net-zero, but there is still a long way to go to meet government targets and improving our current building stock will play a key role in this,” said Jason Stapley, chief procurement officer at Pagabo.
“There are a lot of specialist organisations out there that are able to assist clients with their net-zero projects and strategies, and having these dedicated frameworks means that their services will be easier to access in a compliant manner for public sector organisations,” he continued.
Any organisation interested in the frameworks can register for a pre-market engagement webinar on Thursday, August 10.
