Eight contractors secure place on £1.5bn YORbuild framework

Eight contractors have won a place on the £1.5bn YORbuild major works framework to deliver projects over a four year period

Following the success of the YORbuild2 framework over £10m category, YORhub has announced the launch of its successor the YORbuild major works framework.

Winners across the Lots include; Galliford Try, BAM, Interserve, Wates, Morgan Sindall, Kier, Bowmer & Kirkland and Willmott Dixon.

The new framework covers primarily the Yorkshire and Humber region, North East England, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

It will deliver social value benefits, cost savings for clients, and improvements in both project quality and programme delivery when compared to traditional one-off procurement.

Steve Baker, YORhub procurement lead and joint chair of operations, said: “We were delighted with the number of major projects successfully delivered through the YORbuild2 framework on a collaborative basis and look forward to building on this success with the YORbuild major works framework over the coming years working with some of the best regional and national firms.

“Major Works is a prime example of the public sector and the private sector working together to benefit everyone and support the local economy.”

Phil McDowell, regional director at Kier Regional Building, North & Scotland, commented: “We have been working on YORbuild frameworks since 2009 and have a huge amount of experience in delivering first-class projects for the public sector bodies that procure projects through it.

“We are thrilled to be appointed to the brand-new Major Works Framework and look forward to not only delivering vital projects, but also delivering outstanding social value, that will positively impact communities for years to come.”
