## Summary

The Great Places Housing Group is currently undertaking the "Innovation Chain North" procurement process, aimed at establishing a framework for housing construction projects across the North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber in the United Kingdom. The framework, which has a total value of £750 million, is designed to support main contractors and modular building services, with the contracts set to commence from June 15, 2020, and continue until June 14, 2024. The procurement is in the Award stage as of May 29, 2020, following an open tender process that closed on January 31, 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, especially those involved in sustainable housing and modular construction. Companies that specialise in engineering, architectural services, and related professional services would be well-placed to compete for contracts under this framework. Additionally, businesses focused on collaborative approaches to enhance job creation and training, while also delivering efficient outcomes, could benefit from engaging with the Great Places Housing Group's intent to innovate within the construction industry.

## Notice

Innovation Chain North (ICN) is now tendering for its third consecutive framework. The current framework has been a great success It is our intention that the framework now being procured will commence before the current framework expires and therefore we anticipate this will be operable from June 2020 to June 2024. The framework will include lots for main contractors, contractors to support modular build and associated professional services. This framework will run alongside a DPS for suppliers of Modular Homes. The aim of the framework is for all clients to deliver high quality, sustainable homes that meet the current and future needs of residents whilst complying with current EU procurement regulations. ICN also aims to encourage innovation, achieve benefits from collaborative working, provide opportunities for sustainable job creation and training, whilst achieving efficiencies and value for money.
