Major works construction across Yorkshire

Robertson has a place on the YORbuild Major Works 2 framework, for projects £10–30m, from July 2026 for a four-year period.

YORbuild has historically been the go-to procurement vehicle for regional local authorities, including Leeds City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The framework has also been widely used by the Department for Education, NHS trusts, universities, colleges and blue-light authorities to procure major construction projects.

Projects will adopt NEC4 and JCT forms and stress modern methods of construction, low-carbon delivery, and local employment initiatives aligned with the Construction Playbook.
