Pagabo is acting on behalf of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust which has put an estimate of £47bn on the four-year arrangement.
The framework will cover all types of developer-led schemes.
It is open to all public sector bodies to use, including schools, universities, local authorities, police and emergency services, health and social care providers and housing associations, as well as central government departments like the Ministry of Defence.
It will run for four years, with the option to extend for a further 16 months to April 2026.

Jason Stapley, managing director at Pagabo, said: “We are really pleased to be bringing the first developer-led framework to the market at this time to help public sector bodies procure work with developers that is critical to building a better future.
“It’s of course been a worrying time for the sector, with construction output dropping by record amounts, but despite the exceptional circumstances we have seen a tremendous amount of client access agreements coming through – showing the vital role that frameworks have on the road to recovery.
“Government has already indicated that infrastructure around the UK is to be a focus – and a huge part of a ‘return to normal’, and a framework that allows developer the ability to procure works through a compliant, secure framework will help with creating a more robust sector all round.
