Procurement body Fusion21 has appointed contractors to its specialist framework for housing and commercial building retrofits.

A total of 68 contractors have earned a place on the Fusion21 Retrofit Framework, including a mix of national contractors, SME's and social enterprises.

It will supply services to public sector organisations across the country and is worth £200m over a four year period.


Lots within the framework include Total Retrofit, Heat Pumps, Wind Turbines, Wall Insulation, Cladding and Biomass.

John Farley, Framework Manager at Fusion21, said: "We wanted to ensure the framework was developed with the detail our members required. Our final product is a flexible framework whereby our members can undertake a whole house approach to retrofit works.

"Those accessing the framework now have the ability to undertake multiple Lots, singular Lots, commission for commercial projects and work with local SME's."

Appointed contractors include E.On Energy Solutions, Willmott Dixon, Lovell and Kier.

The framework seeks to improve on the previous framework which saw a total of £40m of investment over a four year period.
