Published requirement description

This framework has been awarded by LHC Procurement Group on behalf of the Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA).

LHCPG has also awarded this framework in England and Scotland on behalf of our other regional entities: and our other regional entities:

Consortium Procurement Construction (CPC)

LHC London and South East (LSE)

South-West Procurement Alliance (SWPA)

Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA)

These two awards have accordingly been published on Find a Tender Service and Public Contracts Scotland.

This new Framework replaces our successful Whole House Framework (WH2). The Refurbishment and Modernisation Framework will provide our clients with access to a range of refurbishment, improvement and modernisation services to maintain their buildings and surrounding external areas.

The framework builds on the scope of LHC's Whole House Framework and extends the scope to allow for works to be carried out in both residential and non-residential buildings.

This Framework consists of the following workstreams:

  • Kitchens & Bathrooms with Associated Works
  • Electrical Works
  • Painting & Decorating
  • Environmental & External Works
  • Multi-Disciplinary Works

This framework will commence on the 1st March 2024 and will run for 4 years (48 months).

CPV: Bathrooms construction work · Bricklaying work · Building installation work · Carpentry installation work · Concrete work · Construction work · Drainage construction works · Electrical installation work · Erection of fencing · Erection of railings · Heating works · Installation of fitted kitchens · +7 more

Performance terms

As part of it's monitoring of the performance of projects delivered through this framework, following completion of each project LHC/SPA will require the relevant appointed company to provide project performance data based on a standardised set of key performance metrics.

Publisher note: LHC Procurement Group Limited is a not for profit central purchasing body acting on behalf of contracting authorities throughout Wales, England and Scotland (including partners of the Welsh Procurement Alliance) for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may use the framework. Welsh Procurement Alliance members now manage around 98% of Welsh social housing and WPA anticipate that the majority of works procured through the framework will be in the social housing sector. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in Wales, England and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as listed on: https://www.welshprocurement.cymru/who-we-work-with/ including, but not limited to Registered social landlords (RSL's), tenant management organisations (TMOs) and arm’s length management organisations (ALMOs), local authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those local authorities, health authorities, councils, boards and trusts, publicly funded schools, universities and further education establishments, colleges, police forces, fire and rescue services or registered charities. WPA partners may add community benefit requirements in their call-off contracts from this Framework including but not limited to: - to generate employment and training opportunities for priority groups; - vocational training; - to up-skill the existing workforce; - equality and diversity initiatives; - to make sub-contracting opportunities available to SMEs, the third sector and supported businesses; - supply-chain development activity; - to build capacity in community organisations; - educational support initiatives (WA Ref:139160)
