UK-based social enterprise Fusion21 has appointed suppliers to its Building Safety and Compliance Framework, valued at up to £800m ($1.05bn) over a four-year period.
Overall, 145 specialist companies, with 81% classified as small and medium-sized enterprises, have obtained their places on the framework.
In November 2024, Fusion 21 officially announced the renewal of its Building Safety and Compliance Framework, seeking bids from suppliers.
This framework is designed to provide support for Fusion21 members in managing and maintaining building safety, as well as demonstrating compliance with regulations.
It offers both regional and national coverage and has been established under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The framework includes a new lot specifically dedicated to sprinkler and mist systems.

By GlobalDataThe Building Safety and Compliance Framework is divided into 12 distinct lots, covering a comprehensive range of services.
These include asbestos surveying and consultancy, asbestos abatement and removal, legionella and water hygiene consultancy, and fire safety-related services such as surveying, risk assessments, and inspections.
Passive fire protection, fire suppression systems, active fire safety, warden call and telehealth services, and electronic security are also integral parts of the framework.
Fusion21 group executive director of operations Peter Francis said: “Our members continue to invest heavily to ensure the buildings they manage are safe. With the introduction of the Building Safety Act (BSA 2022), the responsibility to ensure building compliance has grown, and we’re delighted to be able to continue supporting our members with this framework renewal as part of our ‘big six’ offer.
“Having listened to member and supplier feedback, we’ve created a new generation of the Building Safety and Compliance Framework, suitable for all building types across the public sector.
“Working with a team of technical procurement experts and prequalified suppliers, our members will benefit from a fast route to market and flexible call-off options. As with all Fusion21 frameworks, this latest framework enables our members to deliver social value they can see in communities, aligned with their organisational priorities.”
