The framework will cover the geographical area of North and Central England and London and South East England. (LHC will publish a separate tender for Scotland )The framework will not be available within Wales or the South West of England.

However the scope of the framework has widened to include separate workstreams for:

Workstream 5 - Groundworks and site preparation for new build housing projects (including infrastructure)

Workstream 6 - Demolition and associated site enabling works

Workstreams 5 & 6 will be standalone, however these workstreams will also be delivered by main contractors with the capability to do so as part of the other workstreams.

The full list of workstreams available under this framework will be:

Workstream 1 - New build housing - Low rise housing up to 11m floor height

Workstream 2 - Construction of Independent, Assisted and Residential Care Housing

Workstream 3 - Medium to High rise developments with floor heights above 11 m

Workstream 4 - Refurbishment, Conversions, Extensions and Adaptions

Workstream 5 - Groundworks and site preparation for new build housing projects (including infrastructure)
