GRAHAM Makes it a Hat-Trick with NWCH Framework Success
Written by Amy

GRAHAM has been selected as an approved ‘construction partner’ by the North West Construction Hub (NWCH), earning a place on all three lots of the procurement body’s third generation High Value Framework.

The privately-owned company will deliver ‘Design & Build’ or ‘Construct Only’ projects within Lot 1 (£8m – £15m), Lot 2 (£15m – £35m) and Lot 3 (£35m+) of the prestigious Framework over a four-year term.

To date, NWCH has completed £1.8bn worth of capital projects throughout the Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside areas on behalf of over 100 public sector clients.

NWCH and its partners collaborate to deliver social value outcomes and provide broader economic benefits across the wider North West region.

Commenting on GRAHAM’s success, Strategic Alliances and Frameworks Director, Patrick McDonald, said: “We have strategically developed the GRAHAM business in the North West of England, beginning with the opening of our Manchester office in Salford (2012) and more recently our Liverpool office (2018), and this award underlines our now established reputation in the region. It is a tremendous result and presents us with unique opportunities to deliver lasting impact right across the North West. As a business, we are focussed on partnering with clients and procurement bodies who share our vision and values. Collaboration is central to NWCH and that fits perfectly into the GRAHAM approach whereby true collaboration is at the forefront of every relationship”

“Working in partnership allows us to engage locally, provide greater efficiency and generate better value for money and social value outcomes for our clients and partners. We look forward to undertaking our first projects with NWCH in 2019.”

NWCH Framework Lead, Joanna Chomeniuk, said:

It is very exciting to see some new names join our existing partners and there are already some interesting projects lined up with clients who have been eagerly awaiting this announcement.”

This portfolio of projects also features the Strand Development Liverpool (£55m) in partnership with Panacea Property Development and the exciting Weavers Quay Development (£28m) in conjunction with Manchester Life.

GRAHAM is also undertaking comprehensive interior fit-out schemes at Quest Aparthotel, Liverpool (£10m) and Lord Street (£1m) while it continues to deliver best in class facilities management services at Liverpool John Moores University (£2m pa).
