Jason Stapley, managing director at Pagabo, said the previous version had been 鈥渁 popular option for clients鈥 and said he was pleased to be working on its next generation.

Schemes delivered under the medium works framework include the expansion of Cardinal Newman Catholic School in Coventry, a 拢5m new teaching block for Horsforth School in Leeds, and Bassetlaw District Council鈥檚 first carbon reduction scheme.

The new framework will provide a route for the public sector to procure construction projects valued at up to 拢10m and will be split across four lots, with up to nine contractors allocated to each region under each lot.

The framework is aligned with the government鈥檚 Construction Playbook and a number of places on it will be reserved for SMEs.
