National framework provider, Pagabo, has opened bidding to suppliers for its newest framework offering, which specialises in helping clients across multiple sectors to manage their estates by procuring facilities management services.
The Total Facilities Management Framework will run for four years, with a total estimated value of £814 million and offering hard, soft or total (combined) facilities management services to support sectors including healthcare, blue light, infrastructure, education and leisure.
The framework agreement is divided into six lots:
- Lot 1 – Total Facilities Management Services up to £1m
- Lot 2 – Total Facilities Management Services £1m+
- Lot 3 – Hard Facilities Management Services up to £1m
- Lot 4 – Hard Facilities Management Services £1m+
- Lot 5 – Soft Facilities Management Services up to £1m
- Lot 6 – Soft Facilities Management Services £1m+
This national framework is available for use across all UK regions. Each individual region will have seven suppliers, while three suppliers will cover the whole of the UK nationally, giving clients the option of up to 10 suppliers and supporting Pagabo’s commitment to SME inclusion across its frameworks.
Following the tender period, evaluation and standstill process, the framework is expected to launch in October 2024 with Red Kite Learning Trust as the contracting authority.
Jason Stapley, Chief Procurement Officer at Pagabo, said: “Maintaining the highest standard of procurement compliance and being considerate of the pressure that many businesses are under while delivering quality work, we have made this tender period eight weeks instead of six because it falls during the summer holidays. We expect this will help many suppliers and maintain the high levels of interest that our frameworks usually receive.”
