## Summary

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO), acting through Pagabo Limited, is launching a National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure, and Enabling Works in 2026. This framework aims to consolidate the scopes of existing frameworks for Civils and Infrastructure, alongside Demolition and Land Preparation, across the UK. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with important deadlines approaching: the enquiry period ends on 1st June 2026, the tender submission deadline is 12th June 2026, and awards are expected to be finalised by 24th August 2026. The framework, governed by English Law, might also incorporate Scottish Law to ensure regional compliance. The framework is anticipated to commence in September 2026, with a contract period extending until September 2030.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the civil engineering and construction industries, encompassing work on infrastructure such as highways, rail, and energy projects. Given its value of £5 billion, this framework is ideal for companies looking to expand across the UK. Suitable contenders would include construction firms experienced in large-scale public sector projects, especially those skilled in complex engineering tasks, from water treatment to nuclear infrastructure. The open procurement method promotes accessibility, encouraging participation from a broad range of suppliers, including SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This framework not only promises substantial financial opportunities but also demands a commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainable practices, making it a fitting prospect for businesses ready to collaborate on transformative public works.

## Notice

Pagabo Limited, acting as an agent of YPO is seeking to establish a Closed Framework to combine the scopes of the National Framework for Civils and Infrastructure and the National Framework for Demolition and Land Preparation, replacing the existing two Frameworks. The current Civils and Infrastructure Framework is set to expire May 2026, the current Demolition Framework is set to expire upon execution of this procurement. It is proposed that this new Framework will be for a four year term from September 2026. The Framework intends to appoint a number of Contractors to provide a full range of Civil Engineering and Infrastructure works, Demolition works and Land Preparation works. The resulting Framework will be UK wide and will be available to all Public Sector Bodies. 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.
