Constructing the Gold Standard

We welcome the drive for Gold Standard – as always we’re passionate about procuring frameworks which truly work for you and your organisation.

What are frameworks IMAGE

In December 2021 the Government published it’s review of public sector construction frameworks. It’s a set of recommendations designed to improve procurement frameworks and their subsequent contracts. It’s all about delivering better, safer, faster and greener project outcomes for all parties.

Much of what we do is already aligned with the recommendations of the Gold Standard. But we’ve used the report to produce an action plan which will develop new and improved strategies for our customers and framework contractors.

We’ll be publishing regular news posts as things progress – you can see all our latest updates below.
