two.1.4) Short description
This is a prior information notice to provide advance warning and awareness of an upcoming tender LHC intends to issue to establish a framework agreement for the Modern Methods of Construction of New Homes.
LHC is currently in the pre-planning phase for the procurement of the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) New Homes framework that will be procured on behalf of: LHC, Consortium Procurement Consortium (CPC), South-West Procurement Alliance (SWPA), Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA), Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA)
The framework will replace the current Offsite Construction of New Homes Framework - NH2.
LHC intend to have a number of distinct workstreams reflecting the different types of offsite new build housing and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) component types that will be able to be delivered through the Framework Agreement.
It is anticipated the scope will include the provision of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Offsite systems for residential use, covering:
Provision of a range of MMC solutions from Cat 1 to Cat 7
General housing
Apartments (including student accommodation and care homes),
Adaptive Pods
Room on the roof projects
Temporary accommodation
Enhanced energy performance and Net Zero Carbon projects
Groundworks for Offsite projects
Turnkey workstreams
The above represents LHC's initial thoughts but will be refined following market consultation and therefore may not represent the workstreams/lot structure in the final tender issued.
The framework will cover the geographical areas of North and Central England, London and South East England, the South West of England, Scotland and Wales.
LHC will be delivering market engagement webinars for interested organisation to introduce our initial plans for the new framework in the Spring whereby we will seek to gain feedback from the market on the proposed framework before finalising the framework scope and structure and issuing the tender in July 2022.
The dates will be provided at a later date but LHC would like to invite interested parties to register their interest at this early stage.
