Scape has launched the first pipeline of its 拢7bn national construction framework, with 拢1.1bn of work underway.

黑洞社区 exclusively revealed in March that Willmott Dixon, Lendlease, Wates and Robertsons had bagged the five lots covered by the works framework, which kicked off six months ago.

Major schemes so far confirmed include Liverpool City Council鈥檚 Venmore Dementia Hub in Anfield and the refurbishment of Bolton鈥檚 Octagon Theatre, both led by Willmott Dixon, and 55 new affordable homes as part of the regeneration of Raploch for Stirling City Council, led by Robertson.

The new framework replaces Scape鈥檚 previous major works agreement, which has been held solely by Willmott Dixon and ended in May this year. The current contract is scheduled to conclude in 2021.

Victoria Brambini, managing director of Scape Procure, said the Scape National Construction framework had added depth and breadth to its national offer, 鈥渋ncluding a greater presence than ever before in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland鈥�.

鈥淪uch a strong pipeline of projects as we complete mobilisation is a real vote of confidence in our approach and the value our frameworks deliver for the public sector.

鈥淢ore than ever before, public sector organisations are focused not just on value for money, but on the need to embrace social value delivery across their estate.鈥�

Brambini added that by using the local supply chain, Scape鈥檚 frameworks 鈥渆nsure the benefits of public investment are maximised within local economies, while the creation of 20,000 new apprenticeships will deliver a long-term investment in people and a permanent legacy for local communities鈥�.
