ISG secures re-appointment to North West Construction Hub high value framework
ISG has been re-appointed to the North West Construction Hub (NWCH) high value framework which offers access to a pipeline of work with a potential value of £1.5bn over the next four years.
Securing a place on Lots 1 and 2, we will be able to bid for projects valued over £8 million across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and Cumbria. We also have a place on the current medium value framework, giving access to projects valued between £2-10 million.
The NWCH is one of the UK’s highest performing public sector capital procurement frameworks, and over the past twelve years we have delivered in excess of £336 million of high-profile, multi-award-winning community projects across the North West as a trusted and collaborative delivery partner.
On the high value framework, we have delivered several high-profile projects, including the multi-award-winning Manchester SEMH schools programme. Having delivered £12.7m of social, local and economic benefits. The schools have won several prestigious national awards this year including the Education Estates Award for “Inclusive Learning Spaces for All” and the “Delivering social value award” at the Building Awards.
We are currently on site at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester, due to complete in summer 2023. The £21m project will deliver improved operational performance and modernisation upgrades at the iconic sporting venue, while significantly reducing the building’s carbon footprint, supporting Manchester City Council’s wider decarbonisation strategy.
We are also delivering the refurbishment of St Anne Street police station, building on our extensive expertise in the delivery of projects for the emergency services, as we create new fit-for-purpose facilities to support Merseyside Police’s staff and operations.
