Fusion21 announces £800m construction works & improvements framework

Procurement organisation Fusion21 has announced the launch of its national construction works & improvements framework, worth up to £800m over a four year period.

Designed to deliver capital works programmes with lots specific to housing, education and healthcare and the wider public sector, the framework provides regional coverage and is set to engage with both local and national supply partners, including SMEs.

Offering a range of internal and external refurbishment and improvement works, from regeneration programmes to modernisation and upgrade works, Fusion21 members can commission all types of building construction, mechanical, electrical and services works with the option to design and build residential and commercial structures.

Peter Francis, director of operations at Fusion21, based in Huyton, Merseyside, said: “We are expanding our procurement portfolio as a response to member and market demand, creating a capital works solution that is commercially efficient, clear, transparent, and delivers value for money.

“Set for launch in April 2019, the framework will offer Fusion21 members streamlined price models, social value outcomes and flexible call-off process – including the option for early supplier engagement.

“In addition, Fusion21 members will be able to call off separate lots broken down by value bands.

“We welcome applications from interested organisations that meet the criteria set out in the tender documentation now available on the mytenders web portal.”

The submission deadline is Monday, January 28, 2019, at 12 noon.

Fusion21 provides procurement services and OJEU compliant frameworks to the public sector, and is committed to making a difference in communities across the UK.

To date the firm has saved its members more than £197m through the procurement process, created more than 5,000 jobs and generated £76m of social value.
