London’s Haringey Borough Council is handling the procurement of the £3bn framework, which has been reshaped to allocate places for SME firms as well as bigger players in the market.
It will replace the existing London Construction Programme major works framework, which is due to expire in October.
The previous framework covered a wider scope that included housing, public buildings and local civils and highways, with over 20 firms appointed.
Under the new arrangement, there will be a specific housing framework that will be expanded to include more firms covering a broader remit of housing work.
The scope of works in the next-generation framework will include new build housing, MMC, planned maintenance, retrofit, fire safety works, refurbishments and adaptations.
