Big builders pile into Pagabo’s developer framework

Pagabo has picked 52 firms for its next-generation developer-led framework, lining up contractors, developers and advisers to bring forward major regeneration schemes.

The four-year deal for public buying body YPO will cover housing, commercial development and mixed-use projects, alongside education, healthcare and infrastructure.

Willmott Dixon/Be Living and Hochtief PPP Solutions secured the broadest spread of places, each landing six of the seven lots.

Hill, Higgins, Hochtief, Stepnell and Wates Residential are among 17 new names joining the core developer line-up, alongside regeneration specialists including Urban Splash, igloo and Mount Anvil.

Bruntwood, Vistry Partnerships, Equitix and VINCI UK Developments are among the previous names absent from the new panel.

For the first time, development consultants and legal providers have been included to offer clients a turnkey procurement solution that provides ongoing support, full compliance, reduced risk, cost savings, greater collaboration and broader project outcomes.

The framework gives local authorities routes to establish long-term development partnerships or strike agreements for individual sites and phased programmes.

Its four core development lots cover special purpose vehicle schemes below and above £100m, and development agreements below and above £50m. Separate categories provide development consultancy, legal advice and management services.

Appointments span eight geographic areas covering the whole UK, although individual firms’ places vary by region and development type.
