With a focus on the current, real-world issues across the built environment, the stories behind the headlines, the shifts worth your time, and the ideas to get you thinking. No froth, all coffee. Each episode follows a clear 3, 2, 1 structure: 3 headlines. Covering the most relevant and interesting topics from the world of construction. 2 opinions. Straight-talking analysis and debrief that digs deep beyond each headline. Why it matters and what it means for the future. 1 takeaway. Sometimes practical, sometimes actionable, or perhaps something to make you think. Hosted by Peter Sumpton and Ryan Jones, who bring a combined 40 years in construction and marketing, Construction Disrupted is designed for thought-leaders and decision-makers who prefer podcasts with more substance and less spin. We know the backdrop, fragmented supply chains, rising costs, skills gaps and sustainability pressures, and we won’t rehash doom for the sake of it. Instead, we move past the headlines and delve into the topics that are shaping the industry today, tomorrow, and…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T16:17:54.414364+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/construction-disrupted-6586696"},"episode":{"title":"Burnham, Baby, Burnham | Episode 117","slug":"burnham-baby-burnham-episode-117","published_at":"2026-05-27T06:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/construction-disrupted-6586696/burnham-baby-burnham-episode-117","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/construction-disrupted-6586696","url":"https://www.builddifferent.marketing/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/e72a672d-3f0d-4cca-a605-70c07aaca8e1.mp3","summary":"Construction Disrupted Episode 117 - Burnham, Baby, Burnham (27.05.26) in partnership with Adobe Acrobat Studio . Check them out and show them some love. In this episode, we're covering the government’s ambitious £120bn construction framework renewal, the Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) call for city architects, and Manchester’s ongoing urban transformation under Under Mayor Andy Burnham’s leadership. Government starts renewal race for £120bn mega framework The UK Government has launched the tender for its largest-ever construction framework, valued at £120bn over eight years (2027–2035). The RM6320 framework will consolidate procurement for public sector building, infrastructure, defence, healthcare, nuclear, and overseas projects. It’s divided into seven specialisms, including general construction, civil engineering, offsite solutions, healthcare (ProCure24), defence, international, and nuclear. Each category is split by project size and region, opening opportunities for a wide range of suppliers. The framework aims to foster long-term supply chain relationships, innovation, and continuous improvement, supporting the Construction Playbook and Gold Standard guidance. Bidders have until June 2026 to submit, with awards expected in January 2027. RIBA calls for return of city architects RIBA’s new report calls for city architects to be embedded across England, starting with a three-year pilot in combined authorities like Greater Manchester. The report projects that a city architect could add £47.6 million in value over three years, with increased housebuilding, tax revenue, and economic growth. RIBA argues that strong design leadership is essential to balance ambitious housing targets with quality, sustainability, and community wellbeing.
