Five contractors have broken into the latest £1.5bn YORbuild Major Works framework for the first time as local authorities across Yorkshire and the North East refresh one of the country’s busiest public sector procurement vehicles.

Caddick, Graham, McLaren, Robertson and Vinci Building have all secured their first places on the enlarged major projects framework. Meanwhile, BAM Construction and Bowmer + Kirkland have failed to make the cut following the refresh.

YORbuild Major Works 2 winners

Package Framework value Successful contractors
£10m-£30m projects £600m Caddick Construction, Galliford Try, Kier, Morgan Sindall, Robertson, Tilbury Douglas, Vinci Building, Wates
Projects above £30m £900m Galliford Try, Graham, Kier, McLaren Construction, Morgan Sindall, Vinci Building, Wates, Willmott Dixon

The YORbuild Major Works 2 framework covers projects across Yorkshire and the Humber, the North East, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and parts of Leicestershire, with an initial four-year term and the option of a two-year extension. It is split between a £600m lot for schemes valued at £10m-£30m and a £900m lot for projects above £30m.

YORbuild has historically been the go-to procurement vehicle for regional local authorities, including Leeds City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The framework has also been widely used by the Department for Education, NHS trusts, universities, colleges and blue-light authorities to procure major construction projects.

Projects will adopt NEC4 and JCT forms and stress modern methods of construction, low-carbon delivery, and local employment initiatives aligned with the Construction Playbook.

Awards will be formally signed off in early July after the standstill period.
