Contract Boost For BAM's Minor Works Business

Construction News Image
BAM is continuing to grow its Minor Works business after securing a new lucrative deal.

The firm's business has been appointed to a new £2.5bn national framework.

The National Minor Works Framework, launched by Procure Partnerships, is free to access for all public sector bodies including local authorities, NHS Trusts, universities, the police, fire and ambulance services, and housing providers.

These projects typically involve smaller capital works on existing buildings such as refurbishment, alternations and small extensions.

Steve Atkinson, Head of Projects in BAM FM, commented: "Often clients put this type of work out to local firms, without the protection of a legal structure, but this framework provides a trusted supply chain in a safe, transparent, legal and auditable structure. As a result, it makes it much easier for clients and removes a major headache for a relatively small job. We specifically targeted the £50k to £1m band, and the six geographic areas where we have good experience and resource, because we did not want to overstretch ourselves and risk disappointing the client.

"This is also the first framework we have gone for, and we couldn't have succeeded without the help of the national Frameworks Team. They shared their valuable experience of both frameworks, OJEU processes and they know the Procure Partnerships client well too.

"We are all part of BAM, and this new service can be a real help for our existing construction and FM clients. We already had some good leads from the construction part of the business and are really keen for more."

Robbie Blackhurst , Framework Director at Procure Partnerships, added: "The addition of the Minor Works Framework to the exiting Major Works framework means we can now offer public sector bodies a one stop shop to compliantly procure contractors to deliver their projects ranging from as little as £50k right up to £100m plus."

BAM is appointed to the following six regions for minor works: Yorkshire, East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West.
