What Pagabo does

Pagabo is a Hull-headquartered UK procurement framework management company that operates a portfolio of national, PCR-compliant framework agreements on behalf of public sector buyers — including local authorities, NHS trusts, blue-light services, housing associations, and education providers. The company manages frameworks covering construction works, infrastructure, consultancy, estates management, decarbonisation, development & investment, and dynamic purchasing systems, supported by three wholly-owned digital platforms: Pagabo+ (central framework activity management), Sypro (contract management), and Loop (social value measurement, reporting £2.22 generated for every £1 spent). Frameworks are free to access for buyers, with revenue generated from framework management fees and supplier-side charges on participation and call-off activity across the procurement lifecycle.

Pagabo's commercial footprint is national — operating across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland via a Hull head office and a Scotland office in Motherwell — and it has served 700+ public sector clients delivering £5.2bn of completed projects with £6.2bn of social value enabled. Major recent pipeline expansion includes the £26bn next-generation Developer-Led Framework (opened for bidding May 2026) and the £4.15bn combined National Framework for Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Enabling Works (launching September 2026). A 10-year strategic delivery partnership with YPO (Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation), announced in May 2026, anchors multi-year visibility. The company is privately held, B Corp certified since January 2025, ISO 9001/27001/22301 accredited, and rebranded from The 55 Group to Pagabo Group in March 2024; the leadership team is led by Group CEO Amman Boughan (formerly CFO, promoted October 2025) alongside a newly appointed CTO Dave Stott (October 2025) and CPO Jason Stapley.
