Summary of the contracting process

Procurement for Housing, acting for Inprova, is establishing a national framework for modular buildings and associated services. The requirement covers permanent modular buildings for education, healthcare, public estates and commercial uses; temporary accommodation, decant facilities, hire, refurbishment and relocation; specialist high-assurance environments for defence, blue-light, custodial and other secure public-sector projects; and modular-building consultancy and professional services. Consultancy includes feasibility work, modern methods of construction strategy, technical advice, carbon modelling and post-occupancy evaluation. The framework is intended for PfH members and other permitted public bodies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It covers construction works, modular and prefabricated buildings, construction materials, and related professional services. Procurement for Housing is the buying organisation.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. It is divided into six lots, with contract periods from 22 October 2026 to 21 October 2030. The estimated value is £943,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,131,600,000 including VAT). Lot values excluding VAT are £200,000,000 and £320,000,000 for the two permanent-building lots; £2,000,000 for temporary, hire, refurbishment and relocation; £100,000,000 and £320,000,000 for the two secure-environment lots; and £1,000,000 for consultancy and professional services. The enquiry deadline is 24 August 2026 at 11:00, submissions close on 7 September 2026 at 16:00, and award is due by 1 October 2026. Quality carries 70% and price 30%.

This opportunity suits modular-building manufacturers, construction companies, hire and relocation specialists, refurbishment providers, secure-environment contractors, and professional advisers working in modern construction. Suppliers may target permanent buildings, temporary accommodation, secure public-sector facilities, or specialist consultancy rather than the whole requirement. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for every lot. Bidders need to demonstrate economic and technical capability, with the detailed requirements set out in the tender documents. Relevant experience should include delivering modular or prefabricated buildings, construction projects, temporary or relocatable facilities, secure or high-assurance environments, or consultancy covering feasibility, modern methods of construction, technical advice, carbon modelling and post-occupancy evaluation. The framework supports work for public bodies across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
