IMA Architects has been appointed to Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework, a national framework with a projected value of £175 million over four years.
The framework will provide specialist construction-related consultancy services to public sector organisations across the UK and will support projects of any scale, including those of complexity and high value.
Fusion21 is a social enterprise and national procurement organisation that supports more than 1,100 members including housing associations, local authorities, schools, NHS Trusts, and emergency services. Its frameworks are designed to help members procure services efficiently while ensuring quality, compliance, and social value are built into every project.
The Construction Consultancy Services Framework brings together leading consultancies across a wide range of disciplines including architecture, surveying, project management, and engineering.
IMA Architects has been selected for its specialist expertise in Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM is increasingly recognised as a vital part of modern construction, allowing the design and construction team to create a shared digital model of a building.
This enables better collaboration, reduces clashes during construction, improves cost certainty, and supports long-term facilities management. IMA has invested heavily in BIM capability and now embeds it across the design and delivery of projects to improve outcomes for clients.
Through its appointment to Fusion21, IMA will have the opportunity to deliver its expertise to a wide range of public sector organisations nationwide.
Joe Travers, director and BIM manager at IMA Architects, said: “Being appointed to Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework is an important milestone for our team. It highlights the strength of our BIM capability and the value it brings to clients. Digital design is transforming the way projects are delivered and we are excited to work with Fusion 21 members to help them deliver construction projects across the UK.”
Tania Silva, framework manager at Fusion21, said: “We are delighted to welcome all the new suppliers onto Fusion21’s Construction Consultancy Services Framework, including IMA Architects. The tender process was highly competitive and has identified the best suppliers for our members to source construction-related consultancy services for the built environment.
“Members accessing this framework will work with a team of technical procurement experts whilst benefiting from procurement efficiencies, value for money, and a fast route to market.”
