Manchester-based specialist contractor P.P. O’Connor has been appointed to the National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Enabling Works 2026, that’s managed by Pagabo and is the largest infrastructure offering to date.
The Trafford Park-based civil engineering, demolition and waste management contractor is one of 111 suppliers appointed across 13 lots, alongside names including Balfour Beatty, Costain, Kier and VolkerFitzpatrick. P.P. O’Connor has been appointed as a core supplier across the North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber and Wales, covering highways, water and environmental, energy and aviation projects, as well as infrastructure, demolition, remediation, groundworks and full enabling works.
The four-year framework is available to central and local government, the NHS, blue light services, housing and education. It combines the scopes of Pagabo’s National Framework for Civils and Infrastructure and its National Framework for Demolition and Land Preparation and is compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024.
Charmaine O’Connor, CEO of P.P. O’Connor, said:
“Being appointed to this framework is a real endorsement of our people and of the safe, collaborative way we deliver. For more than 65 years, we’ve supported clients with civil engineering, earthworks and remediation, demolition and waste management expertise and we’re looking forward to working with more public sector organisations across the UK to deliver projects that leave a lasting, positive impact on the communities they serve.”
David Llewellyn, Construction and Infrastructure Director at Pagabo, said:
“The launch of the National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Enabling Works 2026 marks an important step in providing public sector organisations with access to a broad range of specialist expertise and delivery capability. The range of suppliers appointed have been rewarded based on evidence of their ability to collaboratively deliver high-quality infrastructure, civil engineering and enabling works projects across the UK. Through the procurement support that Pagabo provides, and the ambition proven by the appointed suppliers, the infrastructure sector is in safe hands.”
The framework is part of a series being brought to market by Pagabo and YPO in 2026, following the formation of their 10-year strategic delivery partnership. YPO is the centralised procurement authority, while Pagabo is the framework manager.
