Pagabo’s £47bn developer framework awarded

Pagabo has announced the awards for its £47bn, four-year developer-led framework.

The national framework provider has established a framework of 29 development companies to lead schemes within the UK for the public sector.

Firms that have won places include Sir Robert McAlpine Capital Ventures, Kier Property Developments and Morgan Sindall Consortium (full list below).

It is Pagabo’s first framework dedicated to developers with nine lots covering three contract structures: property development via joint venture and special purpose vehicle; long income lease and lease back; and property development single site by development agreement.

These lots cover a variety of sectors such as single and multi-occupancy residential and student accommodation, commercial buildings, transport infrastructure and car parks, prisons and high security buildings, education, healthcare, care homes and extra care buildings, and mixed-use schemes.

In an attempt to ensure the relevant developers are available to clients for the right size of project each contract structure is separated into three value bands as well as on a sector and regional basis.

The value bands are split into three increments for developments of up to and above £100m.

Up to six companies were appointed to each development sector under each lot in every geographical region.

In addition to these core companies, three reserve companies have been named to supplement the procurement process in each segment.  

While the framework, which launches today and covers all public sector bodies, will run for four years it has the option to extend for a further 16 months.

Developments will include those for schools, universities, local authorities, police and emergency services, NHS organisations, health and social care providers, and housing associations, as well as central government departments and the Ministry of Defence.

To be considered for the framework, providers were required to go through an OJEU compliant tender process, prove financial suitability and relevant experience. Providers on Pagabo frameworks are also required to have a corporate focus on social value and technology.
