Cassidy + Ashton joins £500m framework

Cassidy + Ashton has secured a place on the £500m Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework for the North West.

The Preston-based architectural, planning and surveying practice has been appointed as approved suppliers to provide architectural design and building surveying services. The framework will run for four years.

The new framework is broken down into 11 disciplines covering architectural design and civil engineering through to quality surveying, MEP Design and fire engineering. Procure Partnerships estimates the framework could account for a spend of up to £500m during the course of four years over the 11 regions in England and Wales.

All together, it allows public sector organisations to access professional services through the streamlined agreement, providing demonstrable value for money, saving time and delivering measurable social value. More than 400 individual practices submitted tenders for the framework.

Cassidy + Ashton’s public sector track record includes designing the masterplan for the 144-hectare Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone on behalf of Blackpool Council, and an internationally-acclaimed project to refurbish Preston Bus Station, on behalf of Lancashire County Council. The project won three categories at the Royal Institute of British Architecture (RIBA) 2019 awards.

Alistair Baines, chairman of Cassidy + Ashton, said: "This is a highly competitive and prestigious framework and we are absolutely delighted to have secured a place in two categories.

"The win is testament to our team’s capabilities and experience in the education, healthcare, blue light and leisure sectors. We have been delivering exceptional results and value for money in these areas for decades and we now have an opportunity to expand our footprint in these areas."
