Pagabo is a national public procurement specialist that manages framework agreements on behalf of public sector contracting authorities. Its frameworks are designed to simplify procurement, reduce risk, and improve project outcomes.

Pagabo Developer-Led Framework
What is the Pagabo Developer-Led framework?
The Pagabo Developer-Led framework connects public sector organisations with pre-approved development partners to deliver property and regeneration projects through a compliant route to market.
It is available to a wide range of public sector clients, including:
- NHS organisations and healthcare providers
- Local authorities and combined authorities
- Education providers
- Housing associations and public sector bodies
While the framework supports a broad range of sectors, Prime’s focus is on healthcare and public sector estate, where we bring specialist knowledge and delivery experience.
The framework provides a flexible way to procure development services and can be used for projects of all sizes and complexity. It supports both early stage advisory work and full development delivery.
Clients can use the framework to:
- Appoint a development partner through direct award
- Run a further competition between framework partners
- Access experienced and pre qualified organisations
- Reduce procurement time compared to traditional routes
The current framework runs until October 2030 and is fully compliant with UK procurement regulations. Pagabo supports clients throughout the process, providing guidance from initial engagement through to project delivery, and ensuring procurement remains clear, compliant, and efficient.
