Procurement body Fusion21 has named 145 suppliers to its latest building safety and compliance framework, expected to be worth up to £800m over four years.
The framework, which is open to public sector clients, comprises 12 lots covering fire safety, water hygiene, asbestos, electronic security, and warden call systems. It was procured under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and includes a newly created lot for fire suppression using sprinkler and mist systems.
The overwhelming majority (81 per cent) of the firms appointed are small and medium-sized enterprises, Fusion21 announced today (13 May).
Peter Francis, its group executive director of operations, said the framework was updated in response to feedback from suppliers and members and aligned to the requirements of the Building Safety Act 2022.
He added: “With a team of technical procurement experts and pre-qualified suppliers, our members will benefit from a fast route to market and flexible call-off options.”
Fusion21 said the framework covers all building types and is designed to help public sector clients demonstrate building compliance and deliver visible social value.
