Procure Partnerships framework director Robbie Blackhurst said: 鈥淎fter the successful pilot of the minor works framework in the North West region over the past 12 months we have decided to roll out the same successful model nationally. In the North West there have been 19 individual public sector client users accessing the minor works framework within its first year, with over 50% having multiple projects. The national minor works framework has been structured to allow local regional contractors the opportunity to deliver projects within the geographies that they not only operate but also live within鈥�
The major works framework, which starts at 拢4m, went live last month. Of the 23 contractors winning a place, only BAM, Kier and Morgan Sindall secured a place on all 20 lots. [See our previous report here.]
