## Summary

The procurement process titled "Housing Construction Framework" is currently in the planning stage, initiated by LHC, a contracting authority based in Uxbridge, England. This framework aims to facilitate new build housing projects across Scotland, North and Central England, and London and the South East, with plans to replace the existing New Build Housing Framework Agreement. Key dates include market engagement webinars scheduled for early February 2021, with an engagement end date set for 2nd May 2021. This tender is classified under the CPV codes for site preparation work and various forms of housing construction.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for construction firms and contractors specialising in housing projects, including traditional housing, sheltered accommodation, care homes, and net-zero carbon buildings. Businesses well-suited to compete for this framework include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experienced in diverse housing projects and civil engineering. The tender structure may involve various workstreams catering to different project types, enabling firms to align their expertise with specific lots, thus enhancing their chances of winning bids.

## Notice

LHC is currently in the pre-planning phase for the procurement of a new build housing construction framework that will be procured on behalf of LHC, the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA), and Consortium Procurement Construction (CPC). The framework will replace the current New Build Housing Framework Agreement (H1) currently available from the SPA and will be a new framework offering for both LHC and CPC. LHC anticipates a wide range of projects being delivered under the framework, from single smaller sites to complex multi site projects, and this will be reflected in the lot structure that will be put in place. It is anticipated the scope will include the following types of new build housing projects: - Traditional housing - houses, bungalows, flats, apartments - Sheltered accommodation - Care homes - Student accommodation - Rooftop developments - Low/medium/high rise/tower blocks - Key worker accommodation - Net Zero Carbon buildings - Mixed use sites i.e. primarily housing but may also contain community or commercial buildings - Development agreements and land purchases - Associated civil engineering and infrastructure works (where required for development of a new build housing site) The framework will cover the geographical areas of Scotland, North and Central England and London and South East England. The framework will not be available within Wales or the South West of England. LHC will be delivering market engagement webinars for interested Contractors to introduce our initial plans for the new framework in early February. Following the webinars interested parties will be able to book an individual discussion call with representatives of either the SPA, CPC or LHC team whereby we will seek to gain feedback from the market on the proposed framework before finalising the framework scope and structure and issuing the tender in May/June 2021. The webinars are proposed to be on the following dates: 8th February at 2pm 9th February at 2pm 11th February at 10am To register your early interest in the framework and to get further updates please click the link below and then click 'register an interest in this opportunity' (you will need to be registered and logged in) and LHC will message you via the Proactis portal with further information, updates and instructions with regards the market engagement outlined. https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c0edae68-ce54-eb11-8106-005056b64545&p=8b355dc0-f604-e711-80dd-005056b64545 Additional information: LHC intend to have a number of distinct workstreams reflecting the different types of new build housing that will be able to be delivered through the Framework Agreement. The following represents LHC's initial thoughts but will be refined following market consultation and therefore the below may not represent the lot structure in the final tender issued. Workstream 1 - New build housing - low rise up to 11m to top floor height. Workstream 2 - High rise developments with floor heights above 11 m. Workstream 3 - Construction of care homes Workstream 4 - Refurbishment, conversions, extensions and adaptations Workstream 5 - Groundworks and preparation for new build site Workstream 6 - Major Infrastructure for new build housing Within each workstream there may be multiple lots with increasing project value bands or individual dwelling volumes. Within each lot there will be multiple geographical areas that bidders can apply for.
