Contractors on £225M Education Modular Buildings Framework announced

Nine contractors have been appointed by Fusion21 to its national Education Modular Buildings Framework, worth up to £225M over four years.

The framework comprises of four lots that span the hire of modular buildings and modular construction with different brackets of value.

Modular construction with a value greater than £750,000 will be handled by a single supply partner, with Wernick Modular Buildings Ltd already securing this role.

Fusion21 provides procurement services and OJEU compliant frameworks to the education, blue light and social housing sectors, in addition to working alongside NHS Trusts and local authorities.

Fusion21 members including local education authorities, academies, colleges and universities using this framework will be able to take advantage of significant efficiency savings and social value, plus other benefits such as competitive tension, early supplier engagement and transparency of costs.

Nick Verburg, Procurement and Supply Chain Manager at Fusion21, said: This framework offers a flexible procurement solution to all education providers and local authorities who require permanent or temporary safe learning spaces to cope with growing student numbers – and seek quality modular buildings which are compliant with all building regulations and present lower carbon emissions than traditional builds.

“Accessing the single supply option will also generate enhanced value for money for Fusion21 members – providing opportunities for collaborative working and early supplier engagement which will drive down costs and time efficiencies at the design stage of a project.”

The framework will go live on 1 June, 2017.
