Current schemes include a new \u00a39m teaching block at Bingley Grammar School for Bradford Council, while the business recently completed a sustainable engineering and science innovation hub at Chesterfield College.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson said it will continue to prioritise social value through the framework, pointing to the Chesterfield College project, which created 28 local full-time jobs, delivered 270 apprenticeship weeks and generated \u00a36.5m in social value under the National TOMs Framework. The project also achieved two perfect Considerate Constructors Scheme scores before winning Gold at the 2026 CCS National Site Awards.<\/p>\n<p>The contractor is also supporting YORhub&#8217;s YOR4Good community fund through initiatives including the creation of a sensory garden at Chesterfield College and improvements to outdoor learning spaces at Parkside Primary Academy.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Sizer, regional managing director of Robertson Construction Yorkshire &amp; East Midlands said: &#8220;Our strong relationship with YORhub has helped us deliver high-quality projects across the region. Securing a place on YORbuild Major Works 2 means we can further build on the successful projects to date by supporting even more partners to achieve their ambitions while creating lasting value for the local communities and supply chains.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Managed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Leeds City Council, the YORbuild Major Works 2 Framework launched in July 2026 and will run for an initial four years, with the option of a further two-year extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Appointment covers projects valued between \u00a310m and
