Pagabo’s total facilities management framework will run until January 2029, with a total estimated value of £814m.

Pagabo director of frameworks Jonathan Oram said: “While this framework is going live before the Procurement Act comes into force in late February, suppliers and clients will all benefit from the latest procurement best practice. The extensive offering that the total facilities management framework brings to our procurement portfolio here at Pagabo aligns perfectly with our overall aim across all our frameworks – to support a wide range of clients in providing value for money, while maintaining compliance.
“Over the tender period, we have seen significant interest in the framework and we’re eager to see the well-rounded offerings by the appointed suppliers at work. This all goes to highlight the demand we’ve seen for a specific facilities management framework, and we’re excited to see the framework, over the four-year period, make its mark, both for the clients that procure through it, and the suppliers that have been appointed to it.”
Steve Howell, chief commercial officer, at Red Kite Learning Trust, said: “This latest framework joins a number that Pagabo manages on behalf of Red Kite Learning Trust as a contracting authority, bringing the team’s extensive procurement expertise to ensure public sector organisations procuring through the framework have access to the knowledge and resources needed. This all works towards delivering best value for every client – maximising every penny invested in the public sector.”
