We haven’t measured a rhythm for LHC for the South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) in Construction yet — so we’re not going to guess at one.
The London Housing Consortium (LHC) (acting as the Central Purchasing Body for the South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA)), are consulting on the potential establishment of a DPS Agreement for Construction of residential dwellings (including any associated community buildings and facilities) incorporating low energy offsite system across the South West.
The DPS is aimed at delivering offsite / MMC housing, apartments, care homes and multi-occupancy dwellings including zero carbon solutions.
This DPS application process will run in conjunction with a new digital toolkit from Constructing Modern Methods (CMM).
CMM was developed as a concept in a previous piece of research funded by the Local Government Association and conducted with Bristol City Council (BCC) and Bristol Housing Festival (BHF) to understand what resources might make the widescale adoption of modern methods of construction and offsite housing solutions more feasible.
Candidates will need to register as a supplier on SWPA's eTendering portal, ProContract before being able to apply to the DPS.
