Refurbishment, Construction, New Build and Modular Buildings
Framework Description
Fusion21's Refurbishment, Construction, New Build and Modular Buildings framework covers building work of all kinds, from internal and external refurbishment to new build and modular buildings, with design and build options. Lots are split by sector: housing, education, health and the wider public sector. Applications for this framework are closed (it is not a DPS), and it runs until 21 May 2027.
Context & Use Case
Public sector clients use it for residential, commercial, corporate, educational and public buildings. Supply partners are selected by experience, region and value band, so a school extension, a health centre refurbishment and a housing scheme each go to contractors suited to that size and location. The modular lots offer either design and build or hire, so buyers can choose permanent or temporary space.
Scope of Services
Lots 1a to 1d: Internal & External Refurbishment (Housing, Education, Health, Wider Public Sector) Lots 2a to 2d: Construction & New Build (Housing, Education, Health, Wider Public Sector) Lot 3a: Modular Buildings, Design & Build Lot 3b: Modular Buildings, Hire
Lots
Lot 1a: Internal & External Refurbishment - Housing; Lot 1b: Internal & External Refurbishment - Education; Lot 1c: Internal & External Refurbishment - Health; Lot 1d: Internal & External Refurbishment - Wider Public Sector; Lot 2a: Construction & New Build - Housing; Lot 2b: Construction & New Build - Education; Lot 2c: Construction & New Build - Health; Lot 2d: Construction & New Build - Wider Public Sector; Lot 3a: Modular Buildings - Design & Build; Lot 3b: Modular Buildings - Hire
Who Can Apply
Suits refurbishment contractors, main contractors and modular building providers with sector experience in their regions and value bands. Applications for this framework are closed, so non-appointed firms cannot join now. The re-tender is likely around 21 May 2027, so preparation should be under way.
Buyer Benefits
Matching contractors by sector, region and value band gives buyers suppliers who fit their project rather than a generic list. Flexible specifications and design and build options cut lead times. Buyers value contractors who deliver on live school and health sites safely, control cost and add social value locally.
Next Steps
With 21 May 2027 approaching, watch Fusion21's framework pages for the replacement procurement. Decide which sector lots, regions and value bands you will target, and gather case studies to match. Appointed contractors should keep competing for call-offs and gather outcome data for their re-tender bid.
