‘Procurement expert’, Fusion21, has announced the suppliers successfully appointed to its national Building Improvements Framework, worth up to £346 million over a four-year period.
Following a competitive tender process, a total of 70 specialist firms – 74 per cent of them SMEs, have secured a place on the framework, which has been developed to support public sector organisations, including housing, education, and healthcare providers. The framework offers a wide range of internal and external improvement works – from the installation of kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and doors, to roofing work. It has been enhanced to include four new dedicated lots covering damp and mould, external environmental improvements (such as fencing, driveways, walls, and hard and soft landscaping), insulation, and ‘aids and adaptations’.
Peter Francis, Executive director of Operations at Fusion21, said: “In response to member and supply chain feedback and in line with the proposed updates to the Decent Homes Standard, the renewed framework now covers even more aspects of building improvement. It is set up to help tackle problems such as damp and mould, as well as issues with major components like roofs, windows, doors, kitchens and bathrooms, hard and soft landscaping, and aids and adaptations.
“In addition to working with a team of technical procurement experts, Fusion21 members accessing this offer will benefit from a compliant, efficient route to market, flexible call-off options, and geographical coverage across the UK, down to a regional and local level.
“As with all Fusion21’s frameworks, the Building Improvements Framework will also support our members to deliver social value to their communities, aligned to their organisational priorities.”
