Suppliers appointed to Fusion21's £250 Million Improvement Works Framework

Procurement organisation and social enterprise Fusion21 has announced the suppliers successfully appointed to its national Improvement Works Framework – worth up to £250 Million over a four-year period.

A total of 66 highly skilled firms – including more than 80% SMEs – have secured a place on the framework which has been developed to support public sector organisations (including housing associations; NHS trusts and education providers) to deliver planned component and building improvement works.

The framework offers a range of internal and external improvement works from the installation of kitchens and bathrooms to fire doors, communal entrance doors, roofing and electrical works. Fusion21 members will also have the option to commission multi-trade internal and external works suited to combined programmes or smaller scale projects.

Peter Francis, Director of Operations at Fusion21 said: “Having responded to member and market demand we have developed a compliant procurement solution which offers our members increased opportunities to collaborate with SMEs, whilst also benefiting from flexible call-off processes, greater efficiency savings and the ability to generate social value outcomes that are tailored to organisational priorities.”

“This framework also complements our Construction Works Framework – worth up to £800 million - which launched earlier this year to support the delivery of capital works programmes across the UK.”

Fusion21 provides fully compliant procurement services to the public sector and is committed to making a difference in communities across the UK.

To date the firm has saved its members more than £226 million through the procurement process, created more than 6,500 jobs and generated £83 million of social value.
