LEADING regional procurement specialist EN:Procure the procurement arm of social housing consortium Efficiency North, has announced an extension to the bidding for the next iteration of its Framework for New Build Housing, valued at £700 million – with a new deadline of 10 October.
The latest ‘Gen-4’ version of the social housing regeneration consortium’s framework covers all aspects of new build housing, including design, site preparation and remediation, civil engineering and infrastructure works, new build construction and refurbishment.
Lee Parkinson, chief executive at EN:Procure, said: “This latest version of our Framework for New Build Housing is hugely important both in terms of delivering much needed social housing and regeneration as well as creating real social value for those people living within the communities homes are located in.
“We have extended the deadline until 10 October, beyond the holiday period, to amplify the opportunity for bids to give as many organisations as possible the chance to be selected for the framework in support of our commitment to regeneration and social value.”
As well as new build homes, the lots cover the development of various property types, including mixed-use developments incorporating commercial or public infrastructure and buildings. Projects using the four-year framework will predominantly be situated in the North West, Yorkshire and Humber, and East Midlands, but may also extend to other areas of the country.
The lots for the updated framework are:
· Lot 1 – Schemes up to a maximum of 10 units
· Lot 2 – Schemes of between eight and 45 units
· Lot 3 – Schemes of between 30 and 100 units
· Lot 4 – Schemes of 70 units or over
The framework is the first to be procured under EN:Procure’s latest generation of tenders, incorporating the FAC-1 Framework Agreement and dynamic models for ESG delivery, reflecting many of the themes in the government’s Constructing the Gold Standard report.
