Modular housing full contract notice to be published in November.
The UK has been assembling their modular housing policy framework for the last 18 months, and it’s set to launch next month with 23 northern housing associations. The procurement program also needs to adhere to the government-mandated MMC (modern methods of construction) policy for offsite-built modular homes.
Great Places Housing Group, acting as the main procurement body, is now soft market testing suppliers ahead of inviting tenders on 15 November.
The framework does not yet have a duration but is set to be split into three lots for UK modular housing construction.
The first is for the production of three-dimensional units in controlled factory conditions ranging from full apartments to bathroom units.
The second is for two-dimensional components including floors, walls and roof structures, ranging from basic frames to panels fully fitted with windows, insulation and cladding.
The third lot is for smaller non-structural elements that can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, plant rooms and other types of rooms.
Launched in January this year, the OSHA has a target of building at least 10,000 modular homes across the north by 2023.
Supported by Homes England and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, the group’s providers include Great Places, Gentoo, Trafford Housing Trust, Riverside, Jigsaw, Your Housing Group and The Guinness Partnership.
