About us
Trusted expertise, built on experience
YORhub was established in 2008, with our first framework launching a year later.
Since then, we’ve continued to lead the way in public sector construction procurement. We were the first to incorporate contractual employment and skills targets, the first to achieve CITB Accreditation as a National Framework Skills Academy, the first to implement a community fund, and the first framework provider to implement the Local Government Association’s guidance on modern slavery.
Our award-winning approach helps give you confidence that you can meet your commitments under procurement law and the Social Value Act.
As we’ve grown, our focus has remained the same: ensuring our frameworks support economic regeneration, efficiency, employment and skills, supply chain engagement and sustainability.
Lead Authorities
YORhub is a public sector organisation. It is a founding member of the National Association of Construction Frameworks (NACF) and is collaboratively managed by four lead local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humber region: 
More than a framework
When you work with YORhub, you get more than access to our cost-effective frameworks.
You also get access to an experienced team of public sector officers, with backgrounds spanning procurement, construction project management, housing, quantity surveying and contracting.
We understand that delivering public sector construction projects isn’t always straightforward. Our team has faced many of the same challenges and is here to share experience, provide practical guidance and help find the right way forward.
Because every successful construction project can make a difference beyond the project itself, supporting your organisation, your local supply chain and communities. We don’t just provide the tools to help make your project a success. We’re here to support you throughout the process.
Helping shape better procurement
We don’t just work in the industry, we play an active role in helping move it forward.
YORhub sits on the Local Government Association’s Constructing Steering Group, co-chairs the Constructing Excellence Yorkshire & Humber Club, chairs the Local Government Association’s Digital Construction Group, and is part of the advisory group for the Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment.
We’re also proud to be a founding member of the National Association of Construction Frameworks and continue to lead its Sustainability strategy.
We’ve invested thousands of pounds in research covering areas including supply chain management, carbon key performance indicators and industrialised construction. We use what we learn to continually develop our frameworks and incorporate the latest thinking.
Our Mission
Our mission is to take the complexity out of public sector procurement.
First-hand knowledge
As a public sector organisation, we understand the challenges that come with construction procurement.
Our friendly framework managers are here to discuss your requirements, answer your questions and guide you through the procurement process.
Our structure
YORhub's operational activities are overseen by three Joint Chairs of Operations. The Joint Chairs report to YORhub's governing Board which is comprised of representatives from each of the four contracting authorities.
Framework management
YORhub offers a suite of building, civil engineering and consultancy frameworks. Each category is managed by a Framework Programme Manager, with a team of Framework Managers from across our four contracting authorities.
