Pagabo has opened bidding for the second generation of its Refit and Refurbishment framework following the publication of tender documents
Pagabo has opened bidding for its latest construction framework – the second generation of its Refit and Refurbishment framework – following the publication of tender documents.
The new generation of the framework will run for four years from March 2023, taking place of the current iteration, as it expires in February and cover public and private sector clients seeking to procure refit and refurbishment works valued at £50,000 and above.
Providing a compliant and collaborative route to market via five value-based lots
With a total value of £1bn and to meet the demand of national clients across all major business sectors, the framework will be split into five value-based lots as follows:
• Lot 1 – £50k to £500k
• Lot 2 – £500k to £1m
• Lot 3 – £1m to £5m
• Lot 4 – £5m to £15m
• Lot 5 – £15m+
Under these lots, up to nine contractors will be allocated to each regional sub lot, comprising six core and three reserve suppliers.
A number of these places are reserved for SMEs to ensure fair access for organisations of any size, to provide ample choice for clients, and to ensure the generation of positive social impact for communities.
Framework users will be able to appoint suppliers via direct award or competition depending on their requirements
Client organisations that use the framework and the appointed contractors will have access to a free version of Loop’s social value software for all procured projects – a feature of all Pagabo’s frameworks. This access will allow reporting so that it is easier demonstrate the social value being generated through projects.
Red Kite Learning Trust (RKLT) will be the contracting authority for the new agreement, continuing its role from the current iteration of the framework.
The latest iteration of the Pagabo refit and refurbishment framework has been developed collaboratively
Jason Stapley, managing director at Pagabo, said: “To ensure we are not resting on our laurels, this second-generation of the framework has been developed by feedback from the contracting authority, existing client organisations and interested suppliers that were familiar with the original version.
“We have an understanding of what has worked well in the past and what is needed to enable procurement fit for the future in line with recognised best practices for the construction industry. Our framework offerings are available for up to four years, so it’s vital that we futureproof them as best as we can.”
Interested suppliers must submit bid documents via the procurement portal by 12:00 on 11 January 2023. The successful applicants will be announced ahead of the framework’s launch in March 2023.
