Gold Standard Construction Frameworks Panel Event

Over 2,000 public sector construction frameworks exist in the UK. No consistency. No benchmarks. And for many, no clarity on what 'good' actually looks like.

The Gold Standard changes that, not as another framework, but as the verification scheme that separates the credible from the questionable.

On Thursday 26 February, join Constructing Excellence Manchester for a breakfast panel exploring how this government-backed standard is bringing rigour to framework procurement, and what it means for those delivering and commissioning construction work.

Hosted at Trowers & Hamlins, 55 Princess Street, Manchester, the session runs 8:00am – 10:00am and brings together a Gold Standard verifier and a housing procurement expert who's seen what works.

Expect an honest conversation: what verified frameworks get right, where challenges remain, and how AI might reshape procurement in the years ahead.
