VolkerStevin reappointed to the NEPO Civils and Infrastructure framework
We are delighted to have been reappointed to the North East Procurement Organisation’s (NEPO) next generation Civils and Infrastructure framework, securing primary positions across six regional and national lots. The framework is due to commence in March 2025 and run for four years, with an option to extend for a further two years.
Ian Cussons, Operations Director at VolkerStevin, said: “We are thrilled to have resecured our position on NEPO’s framework, after working collaboratively with them over the past four years. Our delivery of the New Wear Footbridge in Sunderland – one of the first contracts to be procured through the current NEPO211 framework – alongside other notable projects being delivered for local authorities both within and outside the region, is testament to the strength of this partnership.
“The North East is an important region for VolkerStevin, and this reappointment, along with our recent Gateshead office opening, further reinforces our long-term commitment to supporting local clients, communities, infrastructure and economic growth in the area. We look forward to continuing to deliver high-quality projects that make a lasting impact.”
