UK Frameworks
Public sector fire safety and retrofit programmes are increasingly delivered through pre-approved procurement frameworks — a route that lets housing providers and local authorities appoint vetted, accredited contractors quickly, either by direct award or mini-competition, rather than running a full open tender for every scheme. Being appointed to a framework is not a formality: contractors are assessed on technical capability, financial standing, health and safety performance, and accreditation before they're admitted, and re-tendered on a cyclical basis.
Many contractors in this space hold a single framework place, covering one service line or one region. IRS Construction's coverage spans all three of our core service lines — fire cladding remediation, external wall insulation and whole house retrofit — across multiple UK regions and value bands, giving clients a consistent, compliant route to procurement wherever they're based.
16+ public sector frameworks, ensure we have national coverage for all of our core services.
