UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

This framework covers a broad range of construction-related services for public buildings across multiple value bands. It includes new build projects delivered using traditional methods or modern framed/panelised systems (excluding modular buildings), refurbishment and restoration of existing and listed public buildings, and associated infrastructure works such as highways, sewers, and drainage. It also encompasses demolition and recovery services to prepare sites for development, facilities management covering building fabric and technical systems, and professional services including project management and cost control. The framework is structured across multiple lots based on project type and value, ranging from under £750k to over £25 million.

The H3 Housing Construction, Demolition and Remediation Framework is being developed to support public sector organisations in delivering high-quality and sustainable housing projects across the UK. The Framework will provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution covering design, enabling works, construction and completion for a wide range of residential schemes. Its scope includes traditional and 3D modular housing (both low-rise and high-rise), sheltered and supported accommodation, mixed-use developments, care homes, student accommodation, temporary accommodation, key worker housing, MOD accommodation and High-Risk Buildings. It will also incorporate enabling and preparatory services such as infrastructure works, site clearance, decontamination, remediation and demolition, as well as conversions, extensions and adaptations of existing buildings. The Framework aims to appoint high-performing contractors who can demonstrate quality, innovation and value, while supporting market development, diversified supply chains and the reduction of whole-life costs. It will also encourage delivery approaches that contribute to national Net Zero ambitions, including increased use of 2D and 3D modern methods of construction and higher Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV). Through this pre-market engagement, LHC Procurement Group seeks to gather supplier feedback to help shape the final structure, commercial model and technical requirements of the H3 Framework prior to commencing the procurement process.
