Hull-based Sewell Facilities Management has been appointed to a new £814m framework meaning it can provide building management services to public sector organisations across the north of England.
The company was one of only 27 organisations nationally to be named on the new Total Facilities Management Framework, managed by procurement provider Pagabo.
The framework will provide a way for public sector organisations, including those in education, leisure, healthcare, emergency services and local authorities, to work with Sewell Facilities Management for soft, hard or total FM services, including roofing, mechanical work and decorating. The framework will run until January 2029.
Sewell Facilities Management MD Sean Henderson said: “We look forward to supporting the public sector to keep their buildings in day-one condition, clean, safe and compliant.
“Being appointed to the Pagabo framework gives public sector clients an easy and quick way to work with us, enabling them to ensure their buildings are looked after 24/7, so they can concentrate on their day-to-day roles.”
Jonathan Oram, director of frameworks at Pagabo, said: “While this framework is going live before the Procurement Act comes into force in late February, suppliers and clients will all benefit from the latest procurement best practice. The extensive offering that the Total Facilities Management Framework brings to our procurement portfolio here at Pagabo aligns perfectly with our overall aim across all our frameworks – to support a wide range of clients in providing value for money, while maintaining compliance.
“Over the tender period, we have seen significant interest in the framework and we’re eager to see the well-rounded offerings by the appointed suppliers at work. This all goes to highlight the demand we’ve seen for a specific facilities management framework, and we’re excited to see the framework, over the four-year period, make its mark, both for the clients that procure through it, and the suppliers that have been appointed to it.”
Sewell Facilities Management works with public and private sector clients across the north of England, providing bespoke and total facilities management services to keep buildings safe, compliant and maintained.
Their clients include NHS organisations, schools and colleges, manufacturers, charities and retail stores, and during the 30 years since they were founded, they have grown from providing straightforward facilities management to offering everything from water hygiene and fire safety compliance assessments to advice and guidance on making buildings more sustainable.
