Pagabo has invited contractors to compete for a place on its National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Enabling Works 2026 infrastructure procurement offering.
Once launched in September, the new framework – which has an estimated total value of up to £4.15bn – will run for four years and is compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024.
Following the formation of a 10-year strategic delivery partnership that will see resources, reputation, and expertise combined to establish a new benchmark for construction procurement, this is one instalment in a series of new frameworks being brought to market by Pagabo and YPO in 2026. YPO is the centralised procurement authority for the framework, while Pagabo is the framework manager responsible for design, delivery, and ongoing management.
Created to connect public sector bodies and private organisations with appointed contractors, the framework agreement can be used by sectors such NHS and health service providers, education, and local government.
David Llewellyn, construction and infrastructure director at Pagabo, said: “Significant consideration has gone into the decision behind merging two of the existing frameworks that we manage. In doing so, we are able to streamline the procurement of important works covering civil engineering, infrastructure, and enabling works, while ensuring the compliance, transparency and impactful delivery that our clients expect from us.
“This open procedure is set to be a competitive opportunity for contractors across the UK, with the new procurement regulations and our own commitment to SME inclusion meaning that the very best quality businesses are able to deliver the public sector’s infrastructure ambitions. From new roads and rail routes, through to brownfield regeneration and energy supply transformation, this latest framework is going to be a vital procurement offering in helping the UK create new infrastructure that will improve connectivity and economic prosperity.”
