ISG Announces £6m Framework Scheme

Construction News Image
ISG has announced its latest framework scheme for Cleveland Fire Authority.

The company will develop a £6 million training and administration centre in Hartlepool.

The facility was designed by Bond Bryan Architects.

ISG is the sole contractor to a four year capital build framework with the Fire Authority worth over £22 million.

The company will also deliver a Technical Hub and Training facility along with four fire stations in Middlesborough, Headland, Thornaby and Grangetown.

The 32,000 sq ft Hartlepool centre will provide accommodation across two floors, with majority open plan office areas and community facilities along with training space.

The building is to feature an extensive curtain walling to its façade and a full height atrium with a outside terraced area on the first floor.

Other developments include a ground floor café, break out areas and gymnasium with flexible training space featuring moveable partition wall structures.

Once the project is completed in summer 2016, fire authority staff will occupy the centre allowing ISG to demolish the previous headquarters and develop the Technical Hub and Training facility.

Chief Fire Officer Ian Hayton said: "This development at our Queens Meadow site is vital to ensure that we can continue to provide the high standard of fire and rescue services that Teesside residents and businesses need in the 21st century.

"We also need to avoid the heavy costs of repairing and maintaining existing buildings that will soon be unfit for purpose."

ISG are using Cleve Fire Authority's own web-based procurement system to engage with the regional supply chain.

The company has also been working closely with the Fire Authority's agent and cost consultant, Bradshaw, Gass & Hope.

ISG's Northern Regional Managing Director, Danny Murray, said: "The redevelopment of Cleveland Fire Authority’s Queens Meadow Business Park site is a major investment in purpose-built accommodation to support the Service’s vital work in the region.

"The partnership approach to delivering this key infrastructure brings all stakeholders together, working collaboratively and sharing knowledge and best practice to add value at every stage of the build process."

ISG added the Cleveland Fire Authority capital build framework to a list of public sector partnering agreements, including the North West Construction Hub, The EFA Framework, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Strategic Alliance Agreement Framework for Construction, Construction Framework South West and the Welsh schools and public sector framework SEWSCAP2.
