£250m framework for building and asset improvement works

Fusion21 has announced the launch of its national Building & Asset Improvement Works Framework – worth up to £250 million over a four-year period.

Specifically designed to meet the needs of all public sector members – including NHS Trusts, NHS Walk-in centres and GP Surgeries – the framework offers a range of internal and external improvement works from the installation of kitchens and bathrooms to fire doors, communal entrance doors, roofing and electrical works. The framework will also facilitate local service delivery - with streamlined procurement processes in place to open doors to SME organisations.

Peter Francis, director of Operations at Fusion21, said: “Set for launch in November, members accessing this compliant procurement solution will benefit from increased collaboration with local SMEs, flexible call-off processes and greater efficiency savings - in addition to generating social value outcomes that are tailored to organisational priorities and make a real impact in communities. Developed in response to member and market demand, this framework complements our Construction Works and Improvements Framework – worth up to £800 million - which launched earlier this year to support the delivery of capital works programmes across the UK.

“We welcome applications from interested organisations that meet the criteria set out in the tender documentation now available on the mytenders web portal – www.mytenders.co.uk – under Notice ID AUG157932.”

Fusion21 provides fully compliant procurement services to the public sector and is committed to making a difference in communities across the UK. To date , the organisation has saved its members more than £225 million through the procurement process, created more than 6,000 jobs and generated £82 million of social value.
