The Procure Partnerships Framework has recently named 87 contractors for its second-generation National Framework
Over the last four years, the Procure Partnerships Framework has managed a national contractor framework in England, overseeing the completion of more than 150 projects each year.
Out of the 87 contractors, 35 were reappointed for the next phase of the framework. The new framework is set to become the largest ever awarded in the UK, comprising 9 sub-regional lots and spanning five value bands.
The Procure Partnerships Framework is ideal for SMEs
The latest framework has the lowest starting at £50,000 and the highest exceeding £50m. 65% of the contractors in the lots are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with values of up to £15m.
These newly selected contractors will now be responsible for four key areas: construction, decarbonisation and retrofit, demolition and site preparation, and infrastructure.
“With over £1bn projects delivered across the UK year on year, our national presence – as well as our extensive experience in both procurement and technical project delivery – means we can always move quickly to meet the needs of our clients,” said Robbie Blackhurst, framework director.
“The next iteration of the framework will see added three disciplines; Decarbonisation and Retrofit, Demolition and Site Preparation, and Infrastructure with specialist contractors assigned to each,” he added.
Big names have been included in the framework
Some of the most notable companies included in the Procure Partnerships Framework include Bowmer + Kirkland Limited, Galliford Try Construction Ltd, John Graham Construction Limited, Kier Construction Limited, McLaren Construction Ltd and Willmott Dixon Limited.
“We have expanded our portfolio to cater to the growing needs of the industry whilst ensuring clients have access to the right contractors for their projects, whether that be regional small to medium-sized enterprises or larger national delivery contractors,” continued Blackhurst.
“The new iteration of the framework is set to transform public procurement, and we look forward to seeing what our contractor partners achieve over the next four years,” he concluded.
