Turner and Townsend, a global consultancy business serving clients in the real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources sectors, has been appointed a key supplier on the NEPRO3 professional services framework.
Developed by the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) and delivered by Bloom Procurement Services, the NEPRO3 framework is a single supplier framework awarded under Public Contract Regulations 2015.
As a preferred supplier, Turner and Townsend's UK advisory team will provide potential clients with access to a full range of contract services.
These services include business commercial strategy, procurement and supply chain strategy, market engagement, procurement execution, contracts development, claims and disputes, and project recovery.
We are in the lead up to the government’s update on the Procurement Act 2023 planned for October 2024
The appointment further adds to other capabilities Turner and Townsend already provide via the same framework, which includes cost and commercial and project management.
Associate Director of Turner and Townsend Advisory in the UK, Paul Murthwaite, said: "Following an extensive accreditation process, we are delighted to secure another place on the NEPRO3 framework which creates further opportunity with the public sector via direct awards or mini competitions, especially in the lead up to the government’s update on the Procurement Act 2023 planned for October 2024."
"Our UK contract services team possess extensive knowledge and experience in public sector procurement having recently been involved in delivering on major programmes such as South Yorkshire Combined Authority’s mass transit renewal programme and Network Rail’s Midlands Rail Hub," Murthwaite added.
"The compliant framework also largely prioritises social value outcomes, something which we’re well versed in for many of our existing clients and hope to achieve more of through this appointment," Murthwaite concluded.
