Sewell Group confirmed on new education refurbishment framework

Sewell Group has been appointed to a regional framework which will provide construction opportunities for the further and higher education sectors. 

The North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium (NEUPC) Building Refurbishment Framework offers an easy way for education and public sector providers in the North of England to appoint contractors to undertake refit, refurbishments and reconfigurations of their estate, with Sewell Group appointed to deliver projects ranging from £250,000 to £4m across Yorkshire and the Humber. 

The four-year framework, which is available until 2029, covers a range of activities from minor building works, maintenance and compliance works, through to extensive refurbishment projects.

NEUPC is one of six UK higher education purchasing consortia, established to deliver and maintain a wide range of collaborative framework agreements. They provide an easy and compliant way for customers in the North East, Yorkshire and Humber and the Midlands to find suppliers for a range of services, from construction work to IT. 

Sewell Group has two construction companies; Sewell Construction, headquartered in Hull, and West Yorkshire-based I&G. Both companies have extensive expertise in completing refurbishment and new build projects for educational organisations, at primary, secondary, further and higher education levels. Recent projects have included refurbishments of teaching facilities at Bradford College, Sheffield College and the University of Leeds, and an ongoing long-term partnership with Hull College. 

Chris Soper, Joint Managing Director at Sewell Construction and I&G said:  

“We’re really pleased to have been appointed to this framework, which will give further and higher education organisations across the north of England an easy and direct way to work with us. Our team has extensive experience of refurbishing education buildings to create innovative, modern and sustainable teaching environments, whilst ensuring minimal disruption for students and staff. We’re looking forward to supporting existing and new partners to provide world-class learning experiences for their students through investment in their existing estates.”
