How can I split selenium test classes from selenium framework?

I am currently working at my job on GUI web pages automation using selenium via Java in Intellij. We have few product development teams, where one is maintaining&developing continuously selenium framework and theirs tests. Other teams grabbed selenium framework few months ago and developed their own tests, now they are continuing to develop tests only. All teams uses Git/Gerrit and Jenkins for continues integration. The issue for me is that two teams mentioned above, uses framework which is outdated now. My concern now is;

Is there a way to keep framework(together with Page Object classes) as a separate project, and then have separate projects, per each team, with test classes only?

I have tried to ask google first, but unfortunately did not find anything.
