## Summary

The procurement process is led by Great Places Housing Group, which is seeking suppliers for the "PIN - Modern Methods of Construction Supplier Engagement." This tender falls within the construction industry category and is taking place in the UK, specifically Manchester. Currently in the planning stage, this initiative aims to engage with suppliers offering Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) solutions as part of a strategy to deliver over 10,000 high-quality homes per annum beginning in 2023. Noteworthy deadlines include a future notice date set for 15th November 2021, inviting participation from suppliers to aid in the evaluation and alignment with the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) strategy.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in MMC and construction-related services. Construction firms, particularly those focused on pre-manufactured systems and off-site technologies, will find this engagement particularly relevant as it involves soft market testing. Companies that can deliver unique, sustainable, and technologically advanced building methods would be well-positioned to compete. The Great Places Housing Group's ambitious plans in collaboration with the Offsite Homes Alliance highlight the potential for long-term partnerships and substantial project involvement for successful bidders.

## Notice

The Offsite Homes Alliance wish to engage with MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) suppliers offering categories 1,2,and 5 solutions as defined in the MMC Definition Framework, to evaluate the current OSHA designs and zero carbon roadmap. This is to ensure that the client(s) and the MMC supply chain, are in agreement with the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) strategy, before a full procurement process begins with selected partners.

### Lot Information

Lot 1 Pre-Manufacturing - 3D primary structural systems

Pre-Manufacturing - 3D primary structural systems A systematised approach based on volumetric construction involving the production of three-dimensional units in controlled factory conditions prior to final installation. Volumetric units can be brought to the final site in a variety of forms ranging from a basic structure only to one with all internal and external finishes and services installed, all ready for installation. The system includes structural performance. Full volumetric units in apartment buildings can include apartment space and common area space. Mini volumetric structural units can include bathroom pods and the like which are structurally stacked and loaded.'

Lot 2 Pre-manufacturing (2D primary structural systems)

Pre-manufacturing (2D primary structural systems) A systematised approach using flat panel units for basic floor, wall and roof structures of varying materials which are produced in a factory environment and assembled at the final workface to produce a final three-dimensional structure. The most common approach is to use open panels or frames, which consist of a skeletal structure only, with services, insulation, external cladding and internal finishing being installed on site. 'More complex panels - typically referred to as closed panels - involve more factory-based fabrication and include lining materials and insulation. These may also include services, windows, doors, internal wall finishes and external claddings. The system includes structural performance for primary walls and all floors (note - this excludes unitised or composite external walling systems that are not load bearing included in Category 5).

Lot 5 Pre-manufacturing (non structural assemblies and sub-assemblies)

Pre-manufacturing (non structural assemblies and sub-assemblies) A series of different pre-manufacturing approaches that includes unitised non-structural walling systems, roofing finish cassettes or assemblies (where not part of a wider structural building system), non-load bearing mini-volumetric units (sometimes referred to as 'pods') used for the highly serviced and more repeatable areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, utility cupboards, risers, plant rooms as well as pre-formed wiring looms, mechanical engineering composites would fall into this category. 'Conventional masonry site constructed schemes utilising conventional building products such as windows and or door-sets - which might otherwise be part of the fabrication process in the other pre-manufacturing categories - should not be included as sub-assemblies or components in this category unless there is a further level of consolidation from traditional configurations. Also excludes and structural base elements that composite assemblies are fixed to and which are to be included in Cats 1-4. Any structure in this category is purely to support the sub-assembly in transit / install phase.
