Published requirement description

Pagabo Ltd on behalf of Red Kite Learning Trust intend to establish the first version of the National Refit Framework for Workplace & Interior Transformation 2027. This national Framework will cover a more specific scope of Workplace and Interior Transformation within existing estates and will encompass but not limited to, internal refurbishment, fit-out, workplace transformation, adaptive reuse, estate modernisation and occupier-led improvement projects within the UK for the whole of the Public Sector. The Framework will aim to provide the public sector with a Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) compliant procurement vehicle that enables the Public Sector to procure works from local, as well as national Contractors. It is proposed that the term of this Framework will be for a period of 4 years from May 2027, with no option to extend. Organisations are encouraged to express interest in the opportunity and receive further updates by registering via the e-tendering portal In-Tend here: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/pagabo/aspx/ProjectManage/1285 Pagabo encourage all interested parties to attend a scheduled Preliminary Market Engagement webinar on 23rd September 2026.
