Clark Contracts has been appointed to Pagabo’s Major Works Framework, strengthening the company’s ability to support public sector organisations with the delivery of major construction and refurbishment projects.
The Major Works Framework has estimated total values of up to £5bn and will run for a term of four years. It has been brought to market following the formation of a 10-year strategic delivery partnership between YPO and Pagabo. YPO is the centralised procurement authority for the frameworks, while Pagabo is the framework manager responsible for design, delivery and ongoing management.
Through the framework, Clark Contracts will work with clients across Scotland on projects valued from £5-30m. The framework will support the procurement of projects across sectors including education, healthcare, housing, local government and community infrastructure.
With an established presence across Scotland, Clark Contracts has extensive experience delivering complex new-build, refurbishment, retrofit and fit out projects for public sector organisations. The company will use this experience to support clients from the earliest stages of project development, providing input on buildability, cost planning, programming, sustainability and risk management.
Gordon Cunningham, Managing Director at Clark Contracts said: “We are delighted to have been appointed to Pagabo’s Major Works Framework. This appointment provides another valuable route through which public sector clients can access our experience and work with us from the early stages of their projects. We look forward to working closely with Pagabo and its clients to deliver high-quality projects that provide long-term value, support local communities and contribute to wider economic, environmental and social objectives.”
David Llewellyn, construction and infrastructure director at Pagabo, said: “Our major works framework has a successful and recognisable legacy. Like its previous iterations, we expect this instalment will quickly begin to support the public sector in transforming built environment investments into positive outcomes for people, places and the planet.
“Through our role as framework manager, we will help clients procure confidently and compliantly, with efficiency and powerful insights offered by purpose-built digital systems. Meanwhile, as people have come to expect from our frameworks, the public sector will be only moments away from an impressive collection of leading contractors vying for new contracts.”
The company’s approach will extend beyond project delivery, with a focus on creating measurable community benefits through local employment, apprenticeships, educational engagement, volunteering and opportunities for SMEs and local supply-chain partners.
