Suppliers have been announced for Pagabo’s largest infrastructure procurement offering to date – the £4.29bn National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Enabling Works 2026.

Among the 111 suppliers appointed to new framework across 13 lots are Balfour Beatty, Costain, GRAHAM, Kier, M Group, Rhodar and VolkerFitzpatrick.

The new framework will run for a term of four years, with the framework agreement available for use by sectors including central and local government, NHS, blue light, housing and education.

Compliant with both the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, the framework has been created to connect public sector bodies and private organisations with appointed contractors.

The new offering will combine the scopes of the National Framework for Civils and Infrastructure and the National Framework for Demolition and Land Preparation, both of which supported Pagabo in establishing its presence in the infrastructure sector and helping public sector organisations with procuring transformational schemes.

David Llewellyn, construction and infrastructure director at Pagabo, said: “This new framework offers significant procurement opportunity for both the appointed suppliers and the public sector organisations it will support. From civil engineering, infrastructure, enabling works and beyond, the scope is extensive and is evidenced by the interest we’ve had since the invitation to tender earlier this year.

“As with all of the frameworks we manage, compliance, transparency and impact play vital roles within its makeup, and it is a vital procurement offering for UK infrastructure. Our longstanding commitment to SME inclusion serves to provide avenues for clients to access suppliers of all sizes across the country, increasing access to the best fit for their projects, enabling competition and prompting good economic growth.

“Bolstered by our digital-first approach, the 111 suppliers appointed have the opportunity to grow work pipelines while also ensuring effective social value for communities across a range of project possibilities. This could include new roads and rail routes through to energy supply transformation and brownfield regeneration.”

This framework is one instalment in a series being brought to market by Pagabo and YPO in 2026, following the formation of a 10-year strategic delivery partnership that will see resources, reputation and expertise combined. YPO is the centralised procurement authority for the framework, while Pagabo is the framework manager responsible for design, delivery and ongoing management.

Costain has been appointed to Lot 1 of the framework as collaborative partner. Alex Vaughan, chief executive at Costain, said: “This is another landmark moment for Costain as we begin our relationship with Pagabo and significantly increase the ways public sector organisations can access our expertise.

 “Working collaboratively with Pagabo, the public sector and our supply chain partners, we will deliver predictable, best-in-class engineering and infrastructure projects that will improve people’s lives and create a more prosperous, resilient and decarbonised future for all.”
