Contractors are being sought to help shape a £1.5bn new build housing framework that will be launching later this year.

The New Build Housing Construction (H2) framework from procurement bodies LHC, Consortium Procurement Construction and Scottish Procurement Alliance, will cover public sector projects in Scotland, North and Central England, and London and South East England.

It replaces the current framework currently available from the SPA, and will be a new offering for both LHC and CPC.

Associated civil engineering and infrastructure works required for new build housing and net zero buildings will also be covered under the set-up.

Planned housing lots


New build housing – low rise up to 11m to top floor height

High rise developments with floor heights above 11m

Construction of care homes

Refurbishment, Conversions, Extensions and Adaptions

Groundworks and preparation for new build sites

Major infrastructure for new build housing sites

Mij Rahman, director of procurement at LHC, said: “The new H2 framework will build on the success of the outgoing H1 framework.

“There is a growing demand for frameworks that deliver solutions which will meet the ongoing housing challenges within the public sector, while prioritising the importance of the wider societal benefits that can be achieved through placemaking that support social, human, environmental and production value.”

LHC, CPC and SPA will be delivering a series of webinars in February (8th, 9th and 11th) for interested developers and contractors.

The sessions will give an overview of the proposed framework and will give interested parties the opportunity to feedback on the framework before its scope and structure are finalised.

To register interest in the H2 framework and receive further updates, visit LHC’s eTendering portal Proactis.
