Medium Construction Works Framework
Framework Description
Pagabo's Medium Construction Works Framework covers public sector building projects worth between £50,000 and £10 million. It gives access to 94 regional and national contractors across four project value bands and was procured under the Public Contracts Regulations. The framework is live until 31 January 2027, so fewer than four months of its term remain.
Context & Use Case
Councils, schools, NHS bodies and other public organisations use the framework for mid-sized projects: new builds, extensions, refurbishments, demolition and enabling works, and associated civils and M&E. The four value bands help buyers compete a project among contractors suited to its size, so a modest extension and a multi-million pound new build each reach the right firms.
Scope of Services
New build construction Refurbishment and renovation Extensions to existing buildings Demolition and enabling works Associated civil engineering works Mechanical and electrical installations Four value bands from £50,000 to £10 million
Lots
4 lots (project value bands from £50,000 to £10 million)
Who Can Apply
General building contractors, from regional firms to national groups, with a record on £50,000 to £10 million public projects. The 94 appointed contractors are fixed and the framework ends in January 2027, so others cannot join it; watch Pagabo's upcoming frameworks page for any replacement.
Buyer Benefits
Medium-sized projects are where many public clients lack in-house procurement capacity, so a framework with vetted contractors in the right value band saves real time. Buyers can compare regional and national firms and award knowing that compliance and capability checks are done.
Next Steps
Check Pagabo's upcoming frameworks page now, as the current framework ends on 31 January 2027 and that page lists renewal dates and lets you register interest. Prepare case studies in your value band, third-party accreditations, health and safety records and social value examples. Appointed contractors should pursue call-offs in the remaining months.
How Athena Can Help
Any medium works replacement is likely to attract many regional contractors, so a well-evidenced bid matters. Athena can tell you when suitable frameworks open and deliver your application through our assistance with framework entry.
Our construction bid writers build quality answers and social value commitments that score, and our pricing support for public bids makes sure your rates win work without eroding margin across the value bands you target, including the larger schemes where margins are tightest.
