Wates’ appointments on Pagabo frameworks will support efficient delivery of public sector projects across London and the Home Counties.
Wates Construction has been appointed as the sole delivery partner for Lot 1a of Pagabo’s Major Works Framework 2026 and secured places across all sub-lots of the £26bn Developer-Led Framework. These appointments position Wates to deliver a wide range of public sector projects, including education, healthcare, housing, and mixed-use developments, across London, Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire.
In practical construction management terms, Wates’ role as Lot 1a Delivery Partner grants access to projects valued over £5 million with flexible procurement routes, including direct award. This enhances efficiency and compliance for public sector clients navigating complex frameworks. Early contractor involvement is a key benefit, allowing construction managers to influence project design, mitigate risks, and optimise buildability from the outset, which is crucial for high-end residential and mixed-use schemes within these regions.
From Atico Solutions’ perspective, successful navigation of such frameworks requires meticulous planning and collaborative stakeholder engagement. Effective construction management ensures projects progress smoothly through procurement and delivery phases, achieving programme certainty and cost control. This approach aligns with the evolving development trends in London and the Home Counties, where public sector-led regeneration and housing initiatives demand high standards and social value outcomes.
