Regenda Ltd has awarded places on a new £513.6m public sector construction framework, with Morgan Sindall and Robertson among the successful contractors.
The four-year framework has been established in partnership with Rise Construction Framework to deliver a broad range of works and consultancy services for public sector clients. It will run through to March 2030 and is structured across 12 lots covering general construction, refurbishment, mechanical and electrical services, civil engineering, fire safety and professional disciplines.
Public sector organisations including NHS bodies, local authorities, housing providers and education clients will be able to procure projects through call-off contracts under the framework. Schemes can be awarded either directly or via competition in line with the Procurement Act 2023.
Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure, Robertson Construction NW, Seddon Construction and Stepnell are among 38 contractors appointed to the general construction lot. A further 35 firms have secured positions on the refurbishment lot, while 15 contractors have been appointed to deliver mechanical and electrical works.
Civil engineering and highways projects will be handled by eight contractors, including Eric Wright Civil Engineering and McPhillips Wellington. Consultancy services are also a key component of the framework, with firms such as AHR Building Consultancy, Rider Levett Bucknall and Walker Sime appointed across architecture, project management and cost consultancy disciplines.
Regenda said the framework will operate as a closed arrangement, with reserve suppliers identified should positions become available over its duration. Fees charged to suppliers will range between 0.5% and 2%.
The framework covers the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and North Wales, targeting sectors including healthcare, education and housing. It is divided into value bands ranging from projects below £100,000 up to schemes exceeding £15m, with individual call-off contracts using bespoke terms and conditions set by each client.
The total value of the framework is £428m excluding VAT.
