Award winning, Castleford based building contractor, Strategic Team Group, has secured a valuable place on all four areas of YORbuild, a series of collaborative construction frameworks for the procurement of building services to carry out new build and refurbishment works for local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humber regions.

The framework will see Strategic Team Group share a slice of the £1.2 billion per annum spent on construction services by Yorkshire and Humber local authorities. YORbuild consists of four sub-regional frameworks, each dealing with minor and major building works, ensuring that the diverse requirements are met by a mix of regional and national contractors, as well as small and medium enterprises.

Commenting on the announcement, Strategic Team Group's business development director, Charles Tweed said:

"Playing a significant part in the regeneration of Yorkshire and Humber is a great achievement for the business, particularly during such competitive times. We have been awarded framework places for contracts ranging in size from £100,000 to £3.5 million across all four areas. Obviously further work is required, but this is a huge step in the right direction."

Lee Parkinson, project manager, YORbuild added:

"YORbuild is an exciting and innovative project based on excellent cross local authority working. It represents a significant opportunity for contractors of all sizes and we look forward to the opportunity of working with all of the appointed framework contractors including Strategic Team Group in constructing Yorkshire and Humber's future."
