Description

Pagabo Ltd on behalf of Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) intend to establish a Framework of contractors capable of providing major works construction and refurbishments within the UK for the Public Sector. The Major Works Framework is principally intended for use on works £5,000,000 and above in value delivered as individual construction related projects, parts or phases of a project, batches of projects or defined programmes of work, or undefined (or loosely defined) programmes of works over a set period of time, across all value bands.

The main areas of activity will comprise of general construction and/or building services work, including but not limited to: new build, extensions, remodelling or alterations, refurbishment, retrofit and specialist fit-out; renovation, planned remedial and/or repair work; mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works; and may also include civils, landscaping and associated site infrastructure works as required to construct the works.

The National Framework for Major Works 2026 will be procured under the Procurement Act and Procurement Act Regulations, scheduled to commence in October 2026 for a term of 4 years.

It is anticipated that, while the Framework Agreement is governed by the English Law, the Contracting Authority may, during the first 2-weeks of the tendering period introduce Scottish Law to form a part of the Framework Agreement Terms and Conditions. This is to support compliance with the applicable legal requirements in Scotland.

The Contracting Authority will communicate this information to Bidders, in a transparent and proportionate manner. Bidders are to take this into account, while preparing tender return submissions.
