Compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, the procurement offering will support public sector bodies with securing transformative development work through compliant procurement routes over a closed four-year period from 19th October 2026.

Following the formation of a 10-year strategic delivery partnership that will see resources, reputation and expertise combined to establish a new benchmark for construction and development procurement, this is one instalment in a series of new frameworks being brought to market by Pagabo and YPO in 2026.

YPO is the centralised procurement authority for the framework, while Pagabo is the framework manager responsible for design, delivery and ongoing management.

Suppliers will be appointed to provide a range of developer-led scheme-related services, including consultancy, legal support and development types. Within each lot, SME inclusivity is embedded, and for the first time, development consultants and legal providers have been added to offer clients a turnkey procurement solution that provides ongoing support, full compliance, reduced risk, cost savings, greater collaboration and broader project outcomes.

The framework will be available to all public sector bodies, from local authorities and education providers through to NHS trusts and housing associations.

The framework is divided into seven lots. Lots 3 to 6 each include eight development types, and each lot, as well as those containing development types, is further divided into eight geographic areas. The geographical areas that the national framework covers includes the north, midlands, southwest, and southeast of England, London, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The lots include:

• Lot 1 – from £0+ (Development Consultants, contracts)
• Lot 2 – from £0+ (Development Legal Providers, contracts)
• Lot 3 – up to £100m (Special Purpose Vehicle Schemes)
• Lot 4 – £100m+ (Special Purpose Vehicle Schemes)
• Lot 5 – up to £50m (Development Agreement Schemes)
• Lot 6 – from £50m+ (Development Agreement Schemes)
• Lot 7 – from £0+ (Development Management Services, contracts)

Jonathan Parker, development director at Pagabo, said: “The Framework for Developer-Led Schemes has seen extensive use UK wide due to its substantial impact on client ambitions and built environment development.

“The existing framework supports clients with very prominent challenges in the market, such as compliance, viability and risk, with the new offering designed to do exactly the same and more – while conforming with updated procurement regulations set out within the Procurement Act.

“We’ll continue to work closely alongside YPO, appointed suppliers and interested clients to offer effective procurement solutions and support throughout schemes. As well as wanting to see the framework continue contributing to major development and growth across the UK, the framework’s characteristics will ensure value for money, collaboration and impactful social value are prioritised in every procurement.”
