The framework attracted multiple suppliers, such as Beattie Passive Ltd, Ideal Modular Homes, TopHat, and ZED Pods Ltd. The procurement was carried out through an open procedure with a focus on quality, social value, and price criteria.

This tender for the OSHA MMC Cat 1 & Cat 2 Framework presents opportunities for MMC suppliers specializing in volumetric systems and panelised solutions using timber, light gauge steel, timber SIPS, or hybrid materials. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with successful suppliers being selected to provide MMC solutions to support housing development projects. Businesses offering innovative MMC solutions and with a focus on quality and social value are well-suited to compete in this procurement process led by the Offsite Homes Alliance through the Great Places Housing Group.

## Notice

The Offsite Homes Alliance (OSHA) engages with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) suppliers offering category 1 and/or 2 (as per the the MMC Definition Framework) for housing development solutions. The framework is available to supply bodies governed by public law, as defined in Public Contract Regulations 2015, across the UK.

### Lot Information

Category 1 - Volumetric

Lot 1 - Supply of MMC Category 1 systems

Lot 2 MMC Cat 2 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 3 MMC Cat 5 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.

Category 2 - Panelised - Timber

Lot 2a - Supply of MMC Category 2 systems using Timber Framing.

Category 2 - Panelised - Light Gauge Steel

Lot 2b - Supply of MMC Category 2 systems using Light Gauge Steel Framing.

Category 2 - Panelised - Timber SIPS

Lot 2c - Supply of MMC Category 2 systems using Timber Structural Insulated Panels (Timber SIPS)

Category 2 - Panelised - Hybrid

Lot 2d - Supply of MMC Category 2 systems using Hybrid materials
