Kier has been appointed to Pagabo’s new £814m multi-sector Total Facilities Management (TFM) Framework (2025 – 2029), which will enable vital maintenance and upgrades at schools, hospitals and a range of other public buildings across the country.
The new framework will allow public sector organisations across sectors including education, leisure, healthcare, emergency services and local authorities to procure a range of soft, hard or total (combined) facilities management services.
It will be managed by Pagabo on behalf of contracting authority Red Kite Learning Trust.
The framework is divided into six distinct lots, catering to varying contract values and types of services, and is structured to deliver a comprehensive range of facilities management services through a Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR2015) compliant process.
The appointment to this framework was secured by Kier Places, a business within Kier Construction which delivers workplace, building, and residential solutions in places where people live and work across the UK.
Kier Places has been appointed to Lot 2 (Total Facilities Management) and Lot 4 (Hard Facilities Management) across four regions – the Midlands, South West, Wales, and London & South East. Kier Places will be providing expertise and delivery across a range of services including planned and reactive maintenance, mechanical and electrical services, waste management, security, pest control, cleaning, capital projects, water and drainage systems, roofing, specialist installations, and helpdesk services.
"We’re delighted to be appointed to Pagabo’s TFM Framework, supporting the delivery of facilities management services across a broad range of sectors. This announcement builds on the excellent relationship Kier has developed with Pagabo over a number of years.
Our facilities management offer goes from strength-to-strength and this framework appointment is another example of the confidence in our solutions-focused approach. Pagabo’s commitment to social value as core to its proposition is especially pleasing for Kier Places. Social value is absolutely fundamental to our delivery model and we’re excited to bring this approach to the TFM Framework."
Jamie McKechnie, managing director of Kier Places
"While this framework is going live before the Procurement Act comes into force in late February, suppliers and clients will all benefit from the latest procurement best practice. The extensive offering that the Total Facilities Management Framework brings to our procurement portfolio here at Pagabo aligns perfectly with our overall aim across all our frameworks – to support a wide range of clients in providing value for money, while maintaining compliance.
Over the tender period, we have seen significant interest in the framework and we’re eager to see the well-rounded offerings by the appointed suppliers at work. This all goes to highlight the demand we’ve seen for a specific facilities management framework, and we’re excited to see the framework, over the four-year period, make its mark, both for the clients that procure through it, and the suppliers that have been appointed to it."
Jonathan Oram, director of frameworks at Pagabo
The Pagabo TFM Framework appointment follows a number of contract and framework announcements for Kier Places over the last six months, including Cambridgeshire County Council (facilities management contract), Heathrow Airport Limited (Quieter Neighbourhood Support Scheme), and appointment to the Riverside Group’s four-year framework to deliver the housing association’s fire safety and retrofit programme.
