YORhub provides high quality contractors and consultants for large and small public sector projects across the region, including the building of new highways and structures, flood alleviation schemes, schools, business centres, decarbonisation, housing developments and the refurbishment of existing highways, buildings and structures.
YORhub’s frameworks can be accessed by any local authority, public sector body or third sector organisation in Yorkshire and the Humber region and neighbouring regions.

It also has a well-established Supply Chain Engagement Programme that provides subcontractors and suppliers with visibility of framework opportunities.
