The body, which represents 16 housing providers in the region, hopes to use the line-up of firms to deliver housing urban regeneration schemes over the next four years.
Future workloads under the framework are heavily dependent on schemes coming forward but have been estimated at anywhere between £40m and £440m.
The EEM framework attracted more than 18 bids from hopefuls.

EME developer contractor framework
EEM is also setting up frameworks for demolition of low, medium and high rise dwellings and provision of architectural design services, including design of external works and landscaping
EEM Managing Director Pete Smith said: “Last year the Government called on social housing providers to show just how they planned to manage, maintain and build housing stock over the next 30 years.
“The answer each organisation gave would help determine the overall settlement they would receive when the Housing Revenue Account was overhauled earlier this year.
“It was important for providers to identify key existing stock, which was not fit for purpose and required demolition.
“They then had to look at potential sites for future builds to help improve living conditions for tenants across the country.”
As part of the EEM framework, contractors must look at the most viable options for local employment, and will be required to take on a minimum number of apprentices, depending on the size of the building programme.
