Contracts awarded for £1bn house-building framework

12 Sep 22 Thirty-two suppliers have been awarded a place on a new four-year framework to deliver public sector house-building projects in England.

Local authority-owned framework provider LHC (originally the London Housing Consortium)

will run its Construction of New Homes (H2) framework from 5th September 2022 to 4th September 2026.

The framework, valued at £1bn, offers a range of traditional housing solutions to the public sector, as well as low-, medium- and high-rise construction, care homes, mixed-use sites and sheltered, student and keyworker accommodation.

Associated civil engineering and infrastructure works required for new-build housing are also covered under the framework, with contractors specialising in groundworks, demolition and site clearance work needed to facilitate the construction of new homes.

LHC’s regional business units across England operating the framework include LHC London & Southeast and Consortium Procurement Construction (CPC) in the North and Midlands.
