Pagabo Decarbonisation – Healthcare and Other Public Sector
Launched in 2024, two brand new frameworks which connect appointed contractors to provide a complete business solution for clients, supporting them to achieve their net zero goals, for projects over £50k. This allows clients to go directly to main contractors to undertake the retrofit assessments, work up costs, self-deliver or bring in supply chain partners to deliver schemes, while serving as a single point of contact. Each framework has its own contracting authority, with one framework dedicated to healthcare schemes having Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) serving as a sector-specialist host.
Meanwhile, the second framework is open to clients from all other sectors, including domestic and non-domestic estates, and hosted by Kingston upon Hull City Council (HCC). ISG have a place on lots 3 and 4 of the healthcare framework, covering a total of 13 sub-lots across England. On the HCC framework, ISG have a place on lots 3 and 4, covering a total of 10 sub-lots across England. The lots cover projects from £5m and above.
The Decarbonisation Frameworks launched in March 2024 and will operate until April 2028.
