Pre Market Engagement - PfH Wales Planned and Retrofit Works Framework
Notice Description
PfH Cymru (Procurement for Housing Wales) intends to establish a Wales-specific Planned Works and Retrofit Framework Agreement. As part of our pre-market activities we wish to engage with Welsh contractors and suppliers and other contractors and suppliers that operate in the Welsh regions. Established in 2004, Procurement for Housing (PfH) is a national procurement consortium dedicated to the social housing sector and supported by the National Housing Federation (NHF), Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and HouseMark. Collectively our Members manage more than 90% of the UK's social housing stock, with PfH helping them to achieve efficiency savings using a wide range of services including framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems, spend analyses, strategy reviews, consolidated billing and comprehensive reporting. PfH is a contracting authority under section 2 of the Procurement Act 2023 and a centralised procurement authority under section 1(4) of that Act. Please refer to www.pfh.co.uk for additional information. We anticipate that the Framework will be divided into eight lots, subject to market engagement: Lot 1 - Decarb and Retrofit - Solar Lot 2 - Decarb and Retrofit - Insulation Lot 3 - Decarb and Retrofit - Air Source Heat Pumps Lot 4 - Decarb and Retrofit - Full Retrofit Works Lot 5 - Planned Works - Kitchens and Bathrooms Lot 6 - Planned Works - Roofing Lot 7 - Planned Works - Windows and Doors Lot 8 - Planned Works - Whole Property Planned Works
Planning Information
Interested contractors are requested to complete a Pre Market Engagement Questionnaire which can be obtained by emailing Assetworks@pfh.co.uk.

We also ask questions about yourselves and your accreditations so that we can ensure we set up our conditions of participation appropriately. Our Sales Team may also contact you for further discussions should you indicate this is acceptable on the questionnaire.
