Fusion21 appoints contractors to £800m construction works framework

Fusion21 has revealed the successful contractors appointed to its national construction works & improvements framework, worth up to £800m over four years

A total of 45 skilled firms – including 50% SMEs – have secured a place on the construction works & improvements framework which has been developed to deliver capital works programmes with lots specific to housing, education, healthcare and the wider public sector.

Going live to the market on 1 April, the framework offers a range of internal and external refurbishment and improvement works through to the building of additional structures – and will support housing providers, local authorities, educational institutions and healthcare organisations to deliver regeneration programmes, modernisation and upgrade works, plus construction of all building types.

Peter Francis, Director of Operations at Fusion21 said: “Having responded to member and market demand we have created a commercially efficient framework solution that will support the delivery of refurbishment and regeneration programmes across the public sector.

“Our members will benefit from working with supply partners that have been appointed based on sector experience, competence and capability, whilst also having the option to select suppliers by region and value band to meet local delivery requirements.

“In addition, this framework provides value for money, streamlined price models, flexible call-off process and social value outcomes.”

To date, Fusion21 has saved its members more than £197m through the procurement process, created more than 5,500 jobs and generated £78m of social value.
