Procurement agency Pagabo is beginning market consultation on the renewal of two of its largest construction frameworks.

The current iteration of the major works framework has 25 contractors prequalified for construction projects valued above £5m. Initially launched in 2020 to run for a term of up to six years, the framework has seen more than 75 projects procured, alongside more than 100 opportunities for suppliers at a total value of £2bn. Schemes procured through the framework include the Lakes Estate renewal scheme in Milton Keynes, The Manchester College’s City Campus extension, and the Innovation Matrix in Swansea for University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

Pagabo chief procurement officer Jason Stapley said: “These two frameworks have been completely transformative for the sector over recent years, driving real value for clients and transformational placemaking for communities. We know that there’s so much more to unlock… 

“We welcome insights from any contractor, developer or contracting authority that is considering participating in the opportunity, or may utilise the new frameworks. These insights are vital to support in designing a solution that works for everyone.”
