Specialists on notice for bumper £1.6bn demolition framework

Pagabo has fired the starting gun on a new £1.56bn framework for demolition and land preparation works.

In a prior information notice (PIN) published yesterday, the framework provider revealed the deal would run for four years.

The framework will allow local authorities and public sector bodies to procure a range of projects such as structure demolition, ground improvement works, bulk earthworks, industrial dismantling and the demolition of non-traditionally constructed high-rise structures.

The contract will have 10 lots, with each including six regional and national suppliers, along with three reserve organisations.

Jason Stapley, managing director at Pagabo, said: “We are responding to market needs with this particular framework and look forward to working with Rugby Borough Council, which will act as the awarding body.

“Across the country, there is a large amount of development that will require demolition or site remediation to get going. This framework is set to make those early pre-construction phase services easier to access in a compliant manner for public sector organisations.”

Firms are now able to register for a free engagement session that will take place on 10 August at 11am.
