EDAROTH secures place on new PAGABO developer framework

EDAROTH – a wholly owned subsidiary of Atkins Ltd – has won a place on PAGABO’s new £47bn developer led framework.

Under the agreement, EDAROTH will have the opportunity to bid for developments of residential schemes across the UK – including projects which transform publicly-owned brownfield and underutilised land in existing communities – to create truly affordable homes in areas where they are most needed.

EDAROTH will offer development management, design and engineering expertise, the latest off-site manufacturing techniques and construction services to deliver new net-zero carbon homes at speed, volume and at a significantly reduced whole life cost compared to traditional new builds.

Once developments are completed, the public sector retains land ownership giving them essential facilities and a long-term revenue stream to bolster their finances.

Mark Powell, EDAROTH Managing Director, said: “The UK’s long-standing shortage of social, affordable, key worker and extra care housing is affecting millions of people every day.

“Our place on this framework gives us a great opportunity to deliver homes over and above what is already possible, and to make a lasting difference to individuals from all walks of life.”

Jason Stapley, managing director at Pagabo, said: “With all our frameworks we aim to simplify the whole procurement process, ensure flexibility and provide greater choice for clients, all packaged up with OJEU compliance – our developer-led framework is no different in that respect. It will allow developers the ability to procure works through a compliant and simple to use framework and help the public sector with vital expansion plans, creating an overall more robust sector.

“We’ve been absolutely blown away by the response we’ve had in this tender process and are really pleased to be bringing a unique procurement offering to market with such a strong set of companies.”

EDAROTH unveiled its first completed residential development in February 2020 which saw much needed social housing delivered in London, UK; and was also successful in securing a place on a £1bn housing framework to provide services in other parts of the UK.
