JV North chair John Bowker said: “Contractors and consultants will help us build 3,000 homes at pace to meet the growing demand for housing across the North West. Competition was fierce, with lots heavily oversubscribed.”
The framework also covers a wide range of consultancy roles, including architectural design, employers agents, engineering services, clerks of works and principal designers. Firms such as Arcus Consulting, Curtins, Bowker Sadler and Pozzoni were among the many selected.
