The four-year deal will consolidate two existing agreements covering infrastructure and demolition into a single UK-wide vehicle spanning civils, rail, highways, energy and full enabling works.

The move marks the first major pipeline release under a 10-year strategic tie-up between Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation and Pagabo aimed at overhauling how public projects are procured following the rollout of the Procurement Act 2023.

Contractors are being put on alert for the new opportunity ahead of a formal invitation to tender on 4 May, with awards due in September and the framework running through to 2030.

The new structure significantly expands scope, bundling traditional civils packages with demolition, remediation and full enabling works under one umbrella.

Thirteen lots are planned, covering everything from highways, rail systems and water to aviation, maritime and specialist infrastructure, alongside four enabling works categories including demolition and groundworks.

Each lot will be split across 11 UK regions, giving national contractors and regional players a route onto the framework.

Pagabo, acting as agent for YPO, said the aim is to simplify procurement routes and offer a single access point for complex infrastructure and site preparation packages.

Both procurement bodies said the framework would be open to all public sector bodies as well as charities and certain private organisations, creaing a key route to market for major programmes over the next four years.

The procurement push comes as the YPO–Pagabo partnership looks to capitalise on a wave of public investment while tackling long-standing issues around fragmented frameworks and delivery bottlenecks.

Pagabo group chief executive Amman Boughan said the tie-up would “establish a best-in-class proposition” and help make procurement easier, quicker and more effective across the sector.

The partners are betting that combining YPO’s scale with Pagabo’s digital procurement model will help clients navigate regulatory complexity and accelerate project delivery.

Expressions of interest are open now, with bidders given a six-week window to respond once the formal tender lands next month.
