A new framework has been launched by public procurement specialist LHC.

The Framework Agreement for Off-site Construction of New Homes (design, manufacture, supply and erection) is now available for public sector organisations across the UK.

The programme marks the fourth with contractor CCG and is available throughout Scotland to deliver high-rise development over 100 units, care homes/facilities and student accommodation projects.

The framework provides local authorities, housing associations and other social landlords with easy access to off-site manufactured volumetric and panelised building systems for the use in new home build projects.


In addition, it is fully OJEU compliant and includes the option of a turnkey solution including design, manufacture, supply, installation and construction services.

There is also a supply option excluding construction services, while each house on the framework complies with Building Regulations, the Housing Quality Index (HQI) and funding authority requirements.

John Skivington, LHC Director, said: "We are delighted to launch the second phase of our offsite construction framework. Offering a supply only, as well as a full turnkey solution, offers our clients flexibility of choice.

"The companies appointed to service this new framework meet the strict LHC requirement of offering superior quality while offering competitive pricing."
