Applebridge Appointed to £1.2bn North West Contractor Framework
We are pleased to announce our appointment to the Procure Partnerships North West Contractor Framework, a four-year framework valued at up to £1.2 billion that will support the delivery of public sector construction and infrastructure projects across the region from April 2026.
This appointment marks another important step in our continued growth in the North West and reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions that support regional development, regeneration and long-term investment.
Appointed to Two Infrastructure Lots
As part of the framework, we have secured places on two infrastructure lots. These include Lot 8, covering projects valued between £500,000 and £1 million, and Lot 9, covering projects valued between £1 million and £5 million.
These lots provide public sector clients with a clear and compliant route to procure civil engineering and infrastructure works across a range of project sizes. Schemes typically delivered through these categories include highways, drainage, utilities and associated infrastructure works that play a vital role in supporting communities, growth and regeneration across the North West.
Strengthening Our Presence in the North West
Our appointment follows continued investment in the region, including the opening of our Chorley office in 2025. Establishing a stronger regional base has enhanced our ability to deliver projects locally, respond quickly to client needs and build lasting relationships with both public sector partners and local supply chain businesses.
With a growing presence in the North West, we are well positioned to support infrastructure schemes in live environments, bringing the practical experience, technical knowledge and collaborative approach needed to deliver successful outcomes.
A Framework Designed to Support Regional Delivery
The Procure Partnerships North West Contractor Framework is divided into 13 lots, comprising six construction lots, six infrastructure lots and one demolition lot. It provides an efficient and compliant procurement route for projects ranging from £50,000 to more than £30 million.
Our inclusion on both Lot 8 and Lot 9 reflects the strength of our infrastructure offering and our ability to deliver works safely, efficiently and to a high standard. It also creates new opportunities for us to support a broad range of public sector projects across the North West over the next four years.
A Significant Milestone for Applebridge
Paul Troubridge, North West Construction Director at Applebridge, said:
“This appointment is a significant step forward for our North West operations. It reflects the strength of our team and the investment we have made in the region, including the opening of our Chorley office last year.
We are proud to be selected for both infrastructure lots and look forward to working with public sector partners to deliver high-quality, efficient projects that support long-term regional growth.”
Through this framework, we will work closely with clients and local supply chains to deliver efficient and sustainable infrastructure solutions, helping to maximise both economic and social value throughout the region.
This appointment is a significant milestone in our regional journey and underlines our long-term commitment to supporting infrastructure investment across the North West.
"We are pleased to welcome Applebridge to the third iteration of our North West Contractor Framework. Applebridge appointment reflects a strong and a clear commitment to delivering high-quality projects, collaborative working and positive outcomes for public sector clients and the communities they serve. We look forward to working with the team and seeing the impact they will make across the North West throughout this framework term."
