A range of M&E contractors from national firms to regional specialists have secured places on the four-year framework.
The framework is split into three lots, with eight core and four reserve suppliers per lot, per region.
The framework will be available nationally and be split into 12 UK regions.
- Lot 1 – Mechanical Works
- Lot 2 – Electrical Works
- Lot 3 – Mechanical and Electrical Works
Each lot contains four value-banded sub lots.
- £50,000 to £500,000
- £500,000 to £1m
- £1m to £3m
- £3m and above
Jason Stapley, chief procurement officer at Pagabo, said: “Framework users will be able to appoint suppliers via direct award or further competition, to provide flexibility.
“As with all of our frameworks, there are a number of places reserved for SMEs.
“In this agreement, 74% of appointments have been awarded to SMEs, which when combined with the regional breakdown ensures fair access for the most appropriate organisations, excellent choice for clients and maximum positive social value for communities.”
Cumbria, Northumberland, and Tyne and Wear NHS (CNTW) is the contracting authority for the new agreement, having also held the same role for Pagabo’s Major Works and Developer-Led frameworks.
