Not-for-profit public sector procurement body LHC will operate the Construction of New Homes (H2) framework which came into force this week and will run until September 2026.

The firms selected cover a mix of disciplines covering low and high-rise housing, care homes and student accommodation expertise as well as specialist trade contractors for groundworks and demolition.

LHC’s regional business units across England operating the framework include LHC London and South East and Consortium Procurement Construction (CPC) in the North and Midlands.

Dean Fazackerley, head of technical procurement at LHC, said: “The new H2 framework in England will equip providers to meet ongoing housing challenges within the public sector, addressing local housing demand while maintaining momentum in their journey towards the production of zero carbon homes.

“It’s hugely important that we continue to respond to the housing needs of local populations while at the same time looking to the future, creating healthier environments that embody social, human, and environmental considerations.”
