The division of Yorkshire and North East has been named on the Major Works 2 Framework – the YORbuild Framework, which covers projects worth over £30million.
It is well to be noted that the public sector procurement framework spans Yorkshire as well as the Humber region, North East, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire along with parts of Leicestershire, with a range of projects open to tender across a four-year term, with a choice to extend the contract for a further two years.
Managed by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Leeds City Council, the framework ensures a regulated, open, and effective route to obtain major building works.
The Yorkshire & North East team from McLaren is an established team located in Leeds city centre and managed by Andrew Beaumont, the managing director.
The appointment solidifies long-term investment of McLaren within the region and encourages sustainable growth thanks to its diversification into the public sector, contributing £250m to its turnover in the previous financial year.
According to Beaumont, “Securing a place on the YORbuild Framework is fantastic news for the Yorkshire & North East region and delivers on the strategic objectives we set ourselves in 2025. This strengthens our ability to support public sector organizations and allows us to focus on schemes where we can add genuine value from the outset. It also gives us a platform to demonstrate our commitment to social value, working with the framework’s YOR4Good Fund and YORscep, to create meaningful opportunities for communities and local supply chain partners.”
