The framework, estimated to be worth up to £800m over four years, will be open to councils, education and healthcare clients.
Around half the firms selected are SMEs throwing the project pipeline wide open to all types of firms when it goes live on 1 April.
The new expanded framework will be split into two primary work channels, one for refurbishment and the other design and construct works.
Each will be alotted between building types covering housing, education, health and Blue Light projects with two project value bands for each sector.

Peter Francis, Director of Operations at Fusion21 said: “Having responded to member and market demand we have created a commercially efficient framework solution that will support the delivery of refurbishment and regeneration programmes across the public sector.
“Our members will benefit from working with supply partners that have been appointed based on sector experience, competence and capability, while also having the option to select suppliers by region and value band to meet local delivery requirements.
“In addition, this framework provides value for money, streamlined price models, flexible call-off process and social value outcomes.”
Fusion21 estimates to date it has saved its clients more than £197m through the procurement process, created more than 5,500 jobs and generated £78m of social value.
