## Summary

Accord Housing Association Ltd has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "PROJECT CHARM: Virtually Plastic Free Homes," which focuses on the supply and installation of balconies. This initiative belongs to the construction works industry, specifically under metalworking and safety equipment installation categories. The tender period concluded on 24th September 2021, with the contract commencing on 18th November 2021 and set to end on 31st March 2022. The project is located in Redditch, England, and involved a direct contract negotiation process following a failed tender, with a total value of £125,860.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on environmentally friendly construction methods, particularly those specialising in modular building practices and materials that minimise plastic usage. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in metalworking, balcony installation, and sustainable building services would find this project well-suited for their capabilities, enabling them to contribute to innovative housing solutions and expand their market presence through collaboration with Accord Housing Association Ltd.

## Notice

The work completed through these tenders will inform the design and manufacturing work within the CHARM project, a project which is supported by the EU Interreg North-West Europe and Accord Housing Association. CHARM stands for Circular Housing Asset Renovation & Management and it aims to reduce the amount of waste in the housing construction sector. The building sector is responsible for more than 60% of resource use in Europe,with more than 30-50% of material use taking place in the housing construction sector. The CHARM project is a new development of 12 one bedroom homes between Edward Street, Redditch and railway line. The design of these aims to create plastic free homes, which will apply timber frame construction, allowing for easy assembly, disassembly and re-assembly and re-use of components and thus relocation in case housing demands drops, whilst avoiding the use of heavy weight concrete and traditional construction methods that do not lend itself easily for prevention of downcycling. Accord Housing Association will minimize the use of plastic during the construction process. We will not allow any unauthorised plastics to enter the CHARM site.
