## Summary

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is spearheading a novel procurement process titled "Prisoners Building Homes Pilot Site Commission" within the services category. This initiative, located in Liverpool, UK, focuses on research and development consultancy services to facilitate a programme where prisoners construct modular housing units. The procurement stage has reached completion, having been awarded on 25th July 2025, with the contract running from 1st August to 1st November 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited competition below the threshold, aimed at identifying viable pilot sites for the programme. This noteworthy initiative was awarded to ATKINSRÉALIS PPS LIMITED, which will deliver comprehensive site reports necessary for the project's success.

This tender provides a unique opportunity for businesses in construction consultancy, particularly those with experience in research and development and modular housing solutions. Companies with expertise in sustainable construction and an interest in community-based projects will find this an ideal fit. The project supports government efforts in rehabilitation and low-carbon housing construction, offering businesses a chance to participate and align with these strategic goals. The awarded contract can lead to further opportunities within the Liverpool City Region as the project's pilot phase seeks to identify promising avenues for expansion and innovation.

## Notice

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is considering the establishment of a Prisoners Building Homes programme. As part of the programme, prisoners have the opportunity to be involved in the construction of modular housing units or the component parts, made either at the prison workshop or at a modular construction factory whilst on day release, and seeks to support prisoners working with modular and traditional housing providers, the public and third sectors, to build low carbon homes for local communities and vulnerable people. The programme national pilot was led by the South-West Reducing Reoffending Partnership supported by One Public Estate, and the hope is to replicate a successful model of Prisoners Building Homes such as the one operating in this area. To be able to deliver the ambitions of PBH in the LCR, it is essential to identify key Local Authority-owned sites which could be used as a pilot site in the city region for prisoners to both advance their own skills and to deliver net zero / modular homes. As such, we have established a brief of works whereby the aim is for a consultant to establish early-stage viability and collate background information for between 6 and 12 sites in the LCR that could potentially be used as a PBH pilot site. It is then a requirement to produce 6-12 reports, (one for each site, written in Word format), that encompass all elements of the 'components of the works' provided within the brief.
