Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by Procurement for Housing (PfH), is in the planning stage as of 16th May 2025. The framework titled "PfH Pipeline Notice 2025 Heating Solutions Framework" falls within the services category, related to commercial and domestic heating solutions, including installation, repairs, maintenance, and servicing. PfH is a national procurement consortium, playing a significant role in the social housing sector across the United Kingdom, with its headquarters in the North West of England. The delivery of services will be spread across the UK with a planned framework agreement expected to commence on 1st October 2026 and conclude by 30th September 2030.
