The body has been operating and delivering a successful framework across England for the past four years supporting the delivery of over 400 projects.

Now over 20 firms face a fight to renew their places on the next iteration of the framework, which will be structured across 11 sub regional lots.

The framework will also cover five disciplines: construction; infrastructure; decarbonisation & retrofit; site clearance & demolition; and housing.

Contractors will be able to select which disciplines in which regions they tender for. The current framework is designed to be flexible and will provide clients with four call-off options.

Robbie Blackhurs, framework director, said: “We are delighted to commence the process of selecting our new framework partners for the next four years.

“Supporting framework end-user clients with procurement and throughout the delivery stages of their projects has been key to our success and we look forward to developing our support offer across this next iteration of the Procure Partnerships Framework”
