Award-winning Scottish principal contractor, Procast Group, has won a significant lot on a £980 million national retrofit framework. The Hamilton-based firm has been awarded Lot 13 on the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Net Zero Housing Retrofit Framework Agreement.

The work will see the company provide a full end-to-end retrofit turnkey solution over a four-year period, starting in August 2025. The contract is for a national framework, covering all nine regions of England, although it is geared towards supporting Greater Manchester's Net Zero target of 2038 – 12 years ahead of the overall UK Government target.

Procast Group, which is PAS2035/PAS2030 compliant, will carry out the end-to-end solution from surveying to handover, with significant opportunities across England's housing stock and access to various government grant funding schemes. The company will also provide expertise in project management, customer support, and quality assurance.

Derek Innes, Owner and Managing Director of Procast Group, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded this lot, which we feel really positions Procast as a national player in the retrofit market." He added that the firm is pleased to be supporting the UK Government's net zero targets, alongside efforts to tackle fuel poverty nationwide.

The group, which currently employs more than 130 staff and operates bases in Aberdeen, Dumfries and Forfar, is a market leader in retrofitting work and innovative multi-trade contracting projects across Scotland and the North of England.
