Embattled private sector procurement body UK SBS is planning to launch two contractor frameworks for use by public sector clients.

UK SBS - which is currently embroiled in a legal battle over its £750m public sector consultants’ framework - published a note last month saying it plans to launch a major works framework and a minor works framework.

Major works will cover projects worth over £2m, while minor works will cover projects below that threshold.

In the note UK SBS asked for interested public sector buyers to join a development panel that is currently scoping both frameworks.
