South West construction firm Beard has been re-appointed to a £8bn construction framework, supporting large scale public sector developments across the region.

The company, which has its head office in Swindon, has been chosen alongside 86 firms from across the country for The Procure Partnerships Framework. The scheme is designed to streamline the procurement process, connecting public sector organisations with contractors.

The Procure Partnerships framework is one of the largest ever in the 海角视频, with Beard one of 35 firms to be re-appointed to complete construction and redevelopment projects in a range of sectors, including local authority, education and healthcare.

It comes after family-run Beard secured a place on three other major frameworks earlier this year.

Mike Hedges, director at Beard said: “Frameworks have become a proven mechanism for public sector organisations to avoid a protracted procurement process, all while improving quality, delivery and ultimately, value for money. It’s certainly not lost on us to once again be selected for this successful framework, alongside more than a dozen other cross-sector frameworks.

“Frameworks embody many of key principles Beard has operated under for more than 130 years; building longstanding partnerships with customers and suppliers, delivering outstanding quality and achieving certainty of cost. While wider market challenges impact confidence and client appetite, frameworks continue to provide valuable opportunities and fill our future pipeline.”

Faye Dolan, head of national frameworks at Procure Partnership Frameworks, added: “Beard Construction has an extensive portfolio of delivering successful projects, and we’re delighted to welcome them back onto the second iteration of the Procure Partnerships Framework. The new iteration of the framework is set to transform public and private sector procurement and we look forward to seeing what Beard Construction achieves over the next four years.
