Interserve among winners on £2.5bn national framework

Procure Partnerships has announced the winners of its £2.5bn minor works framework to be used by clients across 10 regions in England and Wales.

Bam, Interserve, Amcm, now called Claritas, Robertson and Vinci are among the 39 firms who have been appointed to the four-year deal.

The framework, which is set to start this month, has been split into two value lots: one covering jobs between £50,000 and £1m and a higher band for schemes worth between £1m and £4m.

Interserve has been appointed to 13 of the 20 lots available.

Schemes covered will include new build, demolition and refurbishment work and will be available to all public sector contracting authorities including schools, emergency services, local authorities and housing associations.

The minor works framework was trialled in the North-west last year and procured more than £200m of projects. Firms including Kier, Laing O’Rourke and Bam were among those working on this deal.

Last November, the group awarded 23 firms, including Kier, Bam and Morgan Sindall, a place on its national major works framework.
