Clark Contracts has been re-appointed to the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA)’s Public Building and Infrastructure Framework (PB4).
The framework enables local authorities, social landlords/housing associations and other public sector bodies across Scotland to appoint contractors for works relating to the construction and refurbishment of educational, healthcare, emergency service and community buildings.
It also covers residential properties within mixed-use developments, student accommodation, conversion of commercial building for residential use, and associated infrastructure works.
The main contractor has been appointed to six lots, across eight regions, to deliver refurbishment and new build projects up to £25m.
The contractor is also appointed to SPA’s Refurbishment and Modernisation, New Build Housing and Fire Safety Frameworks.
Gordon Cunningham, Managing Director at Clark Contracts, said, “We are delighted to have secured a place on this major framework. In recent years, we have been appointed to 14 projects through SPA frameworks, demonstrating the strength of our relationships with SPA and our track record of supporting public sector organisations across Scotland. This appointment gives us an opportunity to build on this experience, strengthen existing relationships and work with new public sector customers.”
Lesley Peaty, Regional Director of the Scottish Procurement Alliance, said: “Public sector organisations need procurement routes that can support the full life of an estate, from creating new buildings to maintaining the fabric and technical systems that keep essential services running.
“PB4 gives our partners access to a flexible solution covering new construction, major refurbishment, infrastructure and hard facilities management within one compliant framework.
“By bringing these services together, organisations can procure work more efficiently, respond to changing needs and focus public investment on creating and maintaining safe, sustainable buildings for the people who rely on them every day.”
This appointment adds to Clark Contracts’ extensive portfolio of framework agreements with Fusion21, Prosper, Scotland Excel, Procurement for Housing Scotland, Argyll and Bute Council, the City of Edinburgh Council, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Government Commercial Agency, Mitie, NHS National Services Scotland, the University of Glasgow, the University of Strathclyde, Wheatley Group, Glasgow City Council, SSE, Pagabo and Renfrewshire Council.
