EN:Procure chief executive Lee Parkinson said: “This latest version of our framework for new build Housing gives the opportunity for contractors and designers to get involved with social housing projects that not only provide much needed homes, but also maximises the social value generated for the communities these developments are situated in.
“Those selected for the framework will not only be expected to complete the works to a high standard, but are expected to share our commitment to regeneration – specifically the creation of training, work placement, educational activity, direct and shared apprenticeship, and new employment opportunities.”
Prequalification questionnaires need to be returned by 24 July 2023.
