GRAHAM has secured a place across all three collaborative partner lots for the £4.3 billion Pagabo national framework for civil engineering, infrastructure and enabling works 2026.
As the only collaborative partner appointed across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the contractor revealed this provides the business with a ‘unique opportunity’ to support clients UK-wide with the full range of civil engineering services.
Managed by Pagabo on behalf of public sector buying organisation Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO), the four-year framework will provide public sector organisations with access to specialist contractors for civil engineering, infrastructure and enabling works. It covers a broad range of activity, including highways, rail, water and environmental works, maritime infrastructure, energy, aviation, nuclear and defence, demolition, land remediation, groundworks, and wider enabling works.
The move provides an opportunity for GRAHAM to build upon its success through the first iteration of the Pagabo civil and infrastructure framework where the business has been awarded over £160 million worth of projects including Central Dock Liverpool Waters, Lincoln Access Road Bridge, and Havant Station Footbridge.
Rosey Edge, national framework director at GRAHAM, said, “GRAHAM’s appointment to the collaborative partner lots is a significant endorsement of our capabilities. The UK has a significant pipeline of infrastructure investment ahead, and delivering it successfully will depend on strong collaboration between public sector clients and contractors with the right breadth of experience.
“This framework provides an important route for bringing that expertise into projects across a wide range of sectors. We look forward to working with Pagabo to drive continuous improvement, create lasting value and deliver exceptional outcomes for clients and communities through this long term strategic partnership.”
Among the 111 suppliers appointed to new framework across 13 lots are leading names such as Balfour Beatty, Costain, Kier, M Group, Rhodar, and VolkerFitzpatrick.
David Llewellyn, construction and infrastructure director at Pagabo, said, “This new framework offers significant procurement opportunity for both the appointed suppliers and the public sector organisations it will support. From civil engineering, infrastructure, enabling works and beyond, the scope is extensive and is evidenced by the interest we’ve had since the invitation to tender earlier this year.”
