Pick Everard awarded key Cadent framework appointment
13 Oct 2021
We are delighted that CADENT, the UK’s biggest gas distribution network, has appointed Pick Everard as a single lot supplier for its multi-professional construction consultancy services framework.
Cadent manages a pipe distribution network that is more than 80,000 miles in length. This helps serve more than 11 million homes, hospitals, schools, offices, industry and other sites that use gas.
The framework will run for a four-year term and we will be providing Cadent with support in the delivery of projects across its national estate, which totals 67 sites and incorporates more than 300 buildings including a mix of commercial office and industrial accommodation.
Pick Everard director for building surveyors, Mathew Benton, said: “Cadent has been a long-term client since its inception thanks to our strong relationships with National Grid and excellent track record in the sector.
“At Pick Everard, we work hard to ensure our services are provided to clients in the most compliant manner, with frameworks being an excellent vehicle to do so. It’s really important for us as a business to secure positions on frameworks like this one from Cadent to ensure that we can continue to provide our consultancy services to the organisation – and of course continue to build the superb reputation we hold within the utilities sector.”
This is a single lot appointment covering all services deliverable under the framework, which are Project management, CDM, design and specification, architectural design, mechanical and electrical engineering, building and land surveys, environmental impact assessments, interior design, cost consultancy, sustainability, clerk of works, and workplace strategy manager services.
Pick Everard partner, David Harris, said: “We’re thrilled with this latest framework appointment, which really cements the growth of our position delivering professional services to utilities providers across that sector.
“This particular framework appointment will be central to us continuing to develop and build on the relationship between our firm and Cadent. We’re looking forward to working closely with the team on projects under this framework over the coming four years.”
