Summary of the contracting process

Procurement for Housing Ltd and Building Better established a dynamic purchasing system for category 2 modern methods of construction: panelised housing systems. The wider programme is intended to support new-home construction using innovative designs and high environmental and sustainability standards. The awarded project was Abri Group’s Sherecroft Farm development in Botley, Hampshire, where 66 homes were to be built using a category 2 system; the first phase of 49 homes uses traditional construction. The contracted requirement covered design, supply and installation of the system. The arrangement also provides a route for eligible Procurement for Housing and Building Better members and other specified public bodies to procure panelised systems. Its stated geographical scope is England and Wales.

The procurement used a selective restricted procedure through a dynamic purchasing system. The Sherecroft Farm lot was awarded to Saint-Gobain Construction Products UK Ltd trading as Roofspace Solutions. The contract is active and was signed on 11 September 2023, with a recorded value of £2,010,000. The tender describes a planned contract duration of 1,440 days. The procurement’s overall estimated value was £600 million. The Sherecroft Farm lot was cancelled as a tender lot, although an active award and contract are recorded for that requirement. The original evaluation basis for the lot was quality and price, weighted equally at 50% each. The award was for design, supply and installation of the panelised system for Abri’s development.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s demand, the award demonstrates a requirement for an integrated category 2 panelised housing solution, including design as well as manufacture, supply and installation. A credible competitor would need to show it can deliver a complete system against agreed specifications and coordinate effectively with the principal contractor and the housing developer. The procurement’s stated wider aims point to the importance of innovative, future-proofed designs and strong environmental and sustainability performance. Competition was assessed on both quality and price, so suppliers need to evidence technical quality and offer competitive costs. The successful supplier was a large construction-products business, and the awarded project involved 66 system-built homes within a larger housing development. The wider purchasing route is intended for eligible housing providers and public authorities in England and Wales.
