Fortem are appointed to the B2G MWX Minor Works framework.

Any UK contracting authority can direct award any contract to Fortem to deliver any project or programme anywhere in the UK. They share top rank on the B2G MWX framework, and B2G frameworks facilitate the direct award of any contract to any appointed supplier who shares top rank (as well as the option to invite all appointed suppliers to participate in a mini-competition).

Multiple works & contracts in a single procurement

Our 'direct & dynamic' format also enables all or part of a project or programme to be assigned under the auspices of the B2G framework to a specialist registered on the B2G DPS (either directly or via mini-competition). The DPS registrant then contracts directly with the client for that element of the project/programme, and delivers it whilst fully adhering to the same standards set out in the framework terms. This has multiple benefits:

• clients can streamline interconnected programmes into a single procurement, 

• risk is correctly assigned and controlled within the supply chain;

• clients can access the best available and most suitable suppliers at all times, for every phase of a project; and

• clients can optimise and expand the supply chain and avoid the limitations of a 'closed shop' 

By way of example, with regards to renewable & energy efficiency upgrades, whilst Fortem co-ordinates & delivers the client's minor works programme, specialist elements such as solar PV, where design & network connectivity are both complex and bespoke, can be assigned to an RE tech specialist, who may also be undertaking projects for the client elsewhere in their estate, and where contracting directly with that specialist for that element makes most sense from both risk & commercial management perspectives.
