The "West" part of "Westworks" is on a yellow background and the "Works" ison a white background". The backgrounds meet in the middle with a chevron.

Why choose Westworks?

We specialise in the construction, maintenance, and repair of the built environment. By joining forces with our sister organisations, Efficiency East Midlands and South East Consortium (also non-profits), between us, we can provide a wide range of solutions. All you need to do is contact us with your query, and we will endeavour to find an appropriate and best solution.
There is no cost to access Westworks’ solutions, and membership gives access to all Westworks arrangements, as well as those of our collaborating sister consortia. This means that by being a Westworks user, you have free access to a very wide scope of pre-procured solutions. You can call-off anything from long term contracts and partnerships, to small individual projects – they can all be accommodated within our solutions.
All of Westworks’ suppliers are required to demonstrate their Corporate Social Responsibility, social inclusion, and how they contribute to their communities in carrying out their contracts. We actively encourage our members to draw upon and exploit this considerable resource and opportunity through the mini-competition process.
You will have our support throughout the entire process of using Westworks’ solutions, from the development of your requirement to the delivery of your project. Often, the formation of new contracts can present challenges which require development of new skills and strengthening of old ones. By assisting where appropriate, providing training where necessary, and monitoring performance, we work with your teams to ensure effective and consistent delivery.
At Westworks we recognise the importance of innovation across the built environment. There is provision for Off Site Manufacturing/Modern Methods of Construction and everything associated with new technologies, to be utilised across our DPSs. Through our approved suppliers, we have access to a range of innovative offerings which we share with our membership. We also have a program of education to ensure that members are aware of emerging technologies and how they can best make use of novel ideas and methodologies.
