The new framework is for the design, manufacture, supply and erection of offsite volumetric and panelised systems for new build social housing projects.

New Homes (NH1) offers both system types through two workstreams from a pre-selected experienced group of companies. A third workstream for construction works for new homes, which will complement the supply of offsite systems, will be launched in the New Year.

Social landlords looking to source offsite manufactured (OSM) housing structures can now turn to technical procurement specialist LHC for a solution.

John Skivington, director of LHC, said: “The availability of the LHC New Homes framework will save social landlords a lot of time and resource in evaluating the market. The specialist companies on the NH1 framework have been appointed after completing our rigorous tendering process.

“Social landlords can be confident that the framework is compliant, meeting the requirements of relevant EU and UK regulations.”

Social landlords visiting Homes 14 can discuss the framework with an LHC representative on stand H69.

LHC has been specialising in construction frameworks for social housing for nearly 50 years and now has over 130 users throughout the UK. Access to the framework is free of charge to all social landlords.
