**London**: Pagabo has introduced its Total Facilities Management Framework valued at £814 million, facilitating public sector procurement across various industries. With 27 suppliers, including major names, the framework promotes inclusivity for SMEs while adhering to the latest procurement regulations and supporting social responsibility.
Procurement provider Pagabo has unveiled its new Total Facilities Management (TFM) Framework, which is set to operate until January 2029 and carries an estimated total value of £814 million. This significant initiative allows public sector organisations to procure a wide range of facilities management services across various sectors including education, leisure, healthcare, emergency services, and local authorities. The framework is managed on behalf of the contracting authority Red Kite Learning Trust.
A total of 27 suppliers have been appointed to this framework, notable names in the industry include CBRE Managed Services Ltd, Veolia Energy & Utility Services UK Limited, and Morgan Sindall Property Services. The framework encompasses diverse services within both hard and soft facilities management. Hard facilities management services include roofing, mechanical services, and decorating, while soft services cover areas such as catering, pest control, and security.
The TFM framework comprises six distinct lots that are specifically divided between total, hard, and soft facilities management services. The lots are structured as follows:
- Lot 1: Total Facilities Management Services up to £1 million
- Lot 2: Total Facilities Management Services £1 million and above
- Lot 3: Hard Facilities Management Services up to £1 million
- Lot 4: Hard Facilities Management Services £1 million and above
- Lot 5: Soft Facilities Management Services up to £1 million
- Lot 6: Soft Facilities Management Services £1 million and above
A key feature of this framework is its commitment to supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with specific reserved spaces for these businesses in Lots 1, 3, and 5. Following the competitive bidding process, 40 per cent of the suppliers awarded places in the framework are classified as SMEs, reflecting Pagabo’s mission to foster inclusivity in procurement.
Jonathan Oram, Director of Frameworks at Pagabo, highlighted the framework’s strategic alignment with current and future procurement practices. He stated, “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.”
Moreover, the framework adheres to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR2015), ensuring a well-rounded and compliant procurement process. In a further attempt to integrate social responsibility within its operations, Pagabo is providing access to Loop’s social value software at no extra charge for all work procured through its framework. This software is designed to comprehensively evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impact of projects in addition to their financial value.
