A total of 49 contractors including small and medium sized enterprises have successfully secured places on the framework worth up to £200m over a four-year period.

The national framework covers a variety of planned and reactive work on both domestic and commercial heating installations, and offers five lots including: Domestic Servicing and Maintenance; Domestic Installations; Commercial Servicing and Maintenance; Commercial Installations and Gas Consultancy.

Keith Rodgers, Gas Framework Manager at Fusion21, said: “Following demand from our members, we have created a flexible framework which covers specific UK regions – and can be tailored for domestic or commercial use.

“For the first time, the framework offered installation elements split over two value bands – this has resulted in several SMEs being eligible to win work, and also expands the pool of contractors available to deliver services for Fusion21 members.”
