Summary of the contracting process

The London Housing Consortium (LHC), acting as the Central Purchasing Body for the South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA), is initiating a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) Agreement for the construction of residential dwellings incorporating low energy offsite systems across the South West of England. This procurement is primarily focused on delivering offsite housing solutions, including care homes and multi-occupancy dwellings, and is set to commence with pre-tender market engagement. The tender process began on 21 June 2021, with applications invited through an electronic submission method on the SWPA's ProContract portal. The contract period is designed to operate perpetually, with the DPS expected to run until at least 26 September 2031, aligning with the initiative's aim for long-term community developments and enhancements in local housing solutions.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for construction firms specialising in modern methods of construction (MMC) and offsite solutions, particularly those aiming to promote zero carbon initiatives. Companies of varying sizes, from small enterprises capable of handling micro and small projects, to larger firms suited for substantial developments over 50 units, are well-positioned to benefit from engaging with this procurement process. As the DPS framework offers flexibility and ongoing opportunities for suppliers throughout its duration, it encourages businesses with innovative building solutions to participate actively, supporting local economic growth and meeting emerging housing demands in the South West region.
