Hull-based national framework provider Pagabo has revealed the successful 48 companies who will be in line for a share of an estimated £1.5 billion of civils and infrastructure work.

The programme, which goes live today, runs for four years, with potential to extend for a further two.

It allows local authorities and public sector bodies to procure a range of projects covering rail, road, bridges, maritime, telecommunications, water, nuclear and alternative power projects.

Jason Stapley, managing director at Pagabo, said: “We’re really pleased to see our new civils and infrastructure framework go live with a range of excellent suppliers, especially after such great interest and demand from the market. The framework, which is the first that Queen Elizabeth Facilities Ltd will be acting as the contracting authority for, will provide clients with that all-important confidence in the suppliers they choose for their projects.

“Providing the vehicle for compliant procurement of built environment works means that we have a big responsibility when it comes to helping meet the ambitious net zero targets set out by government. We are committed to working with public sector bodies to achieve this through consideration of emerging technologies and project controls, while connecting clients with the right suppliers.

“Whether it is tackling the impacts of the climate emergency through flood alleviation projects or working towards net zero targets through using alternative fuels or development of greener travel infrastructure, this framework offering will make sure that the projects procured through it over the coming years are working towards tackling the climate crisis.”

The core and reserve suppliers stretch across the four framework lots, which cover value bands of up to £30 million and above.
