Pagabo frameworks provide all the Scottish Public and Private Sector with compliant, efficient and fully supported procurement solutions. We have delivered £2.89bn in project value through projects ranging from building surveys to strategic infrastructure projects of over £150m.
Our compliant direct award solution provides you with a choice of contractor for your project, but with the ability to engage immediately and progress your project collaboratively. We can also support flexible further competitions to provide the right route for you, all under unamended NEC, JCT and SPCC forms of contract.
Our frameworks enable you to meet your sustainable procurement obligations as outlined in the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
The Sustainable Procurement Duty requires you to consider how you can achieve improvements in the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of your local area. We can support your procurement process to facilitate, amongst other things, the involvement of SMEs and the promotion of innovation. We’ll then support you in securing your required community benefits.
