LHC, a local authority owned procurement organisation formerly called London Housing Consortium, has put together a third generation of its Public Buildings èAV and Infrastructure (PB3) framework.
This allows local authorities, social landlords and other public sector bodies to source contractors for construction and refurbishment works, as well as associated infrastructure works.
The PB3 framework runs for four years from 1st October 2021 until 30th September 2025.
LHC says that the framework is worth up to £750m in England, £750m in Scotland and £100m in Wales.
It has four workstreams covering: new build only; refurbishment only; new build and refurbishment; and new build, refurbishment and infrastructure.

Dean Fazackerley, LHC head of technical procurement, said: “Building on the success of our previous Schools and Community Buildings framework, we’ve broadened the scope of PB3 to allow local authorities to easily source quality contractors that will also help them to achieve low energy and zero carbon buildings and infrastructure projects.
“We’re pleased to have a range of regional and national contractors appointed to the framework, and with over 40% of the appointed companies being classed as an SME.”
