Morgan Sindall reaffirms position as decarbonisation leader with double Pagabo framework win
Morgan Sindall Construction has been appointed to two brand-new Pagabo frameworks, both of which will serve as crucial mechanisms to enable the decarbonisation of public estates. The two frameworks are valued at £1.6bn each and will run for four years.
It was confirmed earlier this month that Morgan Sindall had been appointed to the new £1.6bn Healthcare Decarbonisation Framework from Pagabo, which has recently been named as an NHS Accredited Framework Host.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is serving as the healthcare sector-specialist contracting authority for the framework, which will run for four years. The suppliers appointed can provide a complete business solution for clients, allowing them to go directly to main contractors to undertake retrofit assessments, work up costs, self-deliver or bring in supply chain partners to deliver schemes, while serving as a single point of contact.
Announced today (23rd April), the second framework - Decarbonisation Solutions Framework - is open to clients from all other sectors and is hosted by Kingston upon Hull City Council. Projects delivered through this framework will be focused on decarbonising existing domestic and non-domestic estates (education, commercial, leisure) by reducing operational carbon emissions and improving energy performance.
For both frameworks, Morgan Sindall successfully bid for Lots 2 (£1-5m), 3 (£5-15m) and 4 (£15m+).
Typical projects may include, but are not limited to, installation of specialist heating, cooling and ventilation systems, installation of renewable energy sources, fabric upgrades, installation of energy-saving lighting, and replacement of inefficient glazing.
Since 2015 Morgan Sindall has collaborated with Pagabo to deliver projects using its Intelligent Solutions approach, which brings together digital and platform design capabilities with modern construction methods and innovative carbon reduction tools to create unique, sustainable, and inspiring places.
This commitment to challenging traditional construction processes and technologies through promoting a data driven approach has enabled the organisations to work collaboratively to address industry-wide challenges including attracting new talent and continually developing skills to support the future of construction.
Rob Hall, Framework Director, Morgan Sindall Construction said:
On the many projects we have been appointed to and delivered through Pagabo’s frameworks in recent years, decarbonisation and the deployment of green technology has always been a focus. It’s therefore fantastic news that we have won places on these two new frameworks specifically designed for decarbonising public estates.
Given the climate emergency and the need to reach challenging net zero targets, we envisage demand for decarbonisation services within the construction industry to soar in years to come. These frameworks provide an excellent means by which we can offer creative solutions to ensure public buildings can continue to serve their communities while being as sustainable as possible.”
Jason Stapley, chief procurement officer at Pagabo, said:
Decarbonisation is a specialist service meaning that it was more important than ever to ensure the very best businesses were identified, which includes various SMEs in addition to some of the larger organisations too.
Announcing the successful suppliers comes hot on the heels of naming the successful suppliers for the healthcare specific framework earlier in the month. This version, with Kingston upon Hull City Council as the contracting authority, includes 32 SMEs, which makes up more than half of the total suppliers appointed.
With the growing focus on the role decarbonisation has to play in working towards and meeting net zero goals, we know that this framework – and its healthcare sister offering – will be well utilised by clients, helping them to meet their individual goals while working towards bigger picture goals at the same time.”
