## Summary

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is facilitating the National Framework for Major Works 2026 through a tender process handled by Pagabo Ltd. This framework aims to establish a broad consortium of contractors to deliver major construction and refurbishment projects across the UK's public sector. The value of projects under this framework ranges from £5 million upwards, encompassing new builds, refurbishments, and specialist fit-outs, among other works. The procurement is under the legal framework of the Procurement Act and its Regulations, with an anticipated start date in October 2026 and a four-year term. Tenders should be submitted by 22nd June 2026, with the enquiry period closing on 8th June 2026. The framework spans multiple regions in the UK, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with the procurement method being open and inclusive of electronic submissions.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those with expertise in large-scale projects exceeding £5 million. Given the comprehensive scope of activities involved—from general construction and building services to more specialised works such as MEP, landscaping, and infrastructure—firms with diverse capabilities stand to benefit from participation. It encourages partnerships that drive quality, innovation, and value for money, promising a stable long-term pipeline of work across national coverage. The framework offers collaborative partners a streamlined appointment route, facilitating early contractor involvement in design and risk management. This tender is an exceptional opportunity for construction firms looking to expand their footprint in the government's public sector projects, especially those committed to high performance and compliance with evolving legal requirements.

## Notice

Pagabo Ltd on behalf of Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) intend to establish a Framework of contractors capable of providing major works construction and refurbishments within the UK for the Public Sector. The Major Works Framework is principally intended for use on works PS5,000,000 and above in value delivered as individual construction related projects, parts or phases of a project, batches of projects or defined programmes of work, or undefined (or loosely defined) programmes of works over a set period of time, across all value bands. The main areas of activity will comprise of general construction and/or building services work, including but not limited to: new build, extensions, remodelling or alterations, refurbishment, retrofit and specialist fit-out; renovation, planned remedial and/or repair work; mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works; and may also include civils, landscaping and associated site infrastructure works as required to construct the works. The National Framework for Major Works 2026 will be procured under the Procurement Act and Procurement Act Regulations, scheduled to commence in October 2026 for a term of 4 years. 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.
