New Build

The New Build Framework provides a compliant way for contractors to deliver a range of new build and refurbishment projects safely for residents and other occupants.

It streamlines the delivery of high-quality new build homes as well as energy efficient refurbishments of homes and other community facilities.

Since new homes must align with statutory building regulations in the UK – primarily the Future Homes Standard (FHS) which requires new homes to produce 75 to 85% less carbon emissions compared to the 2013 standards – finding the right new build solutions is essential.

At NHC Procurement, we work with suppliers located throughout England and Wales to deliver a compliant procurement route for local authorities, housing associations and other public sector organisations to easily appoint new build services delivered by trusted contractors for new housing and regeneration projects.

What is the New Build Framework?

The New Build Framework helps to design, build and refurbish properties to ensure better living environments for residents.

Our new build solutions come as a turnkey package and cover all stages of new build and refurbishment while offering a principal contractor solution.

We work closely with different suppliers to ensure you receive the best quality support and guidance throughout the new build and refurbishment process. Our supply chain partners who deliver new build services have been rigorously assessed to ensure they have the capability to deliver the works safely in line with budget, quality and regulatory standards.

Live until 2029, the New Build Framework consists of Direct Award or Further Competition call off methods.

Our New Build Solutions

At NHC Procurement, we offer a range of solutions to support public sector organisations with the procurement process, including both framework solutions and dynamic solutions.

Our new build solutions are offered as a turnkey package which covers all stages of the new build and refurbishment processes, including:

• Design
• Site Clearance
• Land Remediation
• Groundworks

These new build services also include Superstructure Construction which covers everything from fencing, brickwork and scaffolding to electrical, plumping, heating, insulation and painting and decoration.

No matter the new build solutions you require for your property, our suppliers are here to help design and ensure a safe living or working environment for your residents or other occupants.

The New Build Framework covers different lots depending on the exact build, including low-rise housing apartments, medium to high-rise developments, specialised living (like care homes and assisted living) and enabling works (such as site clearance, demolition and groundworks).

Benefits of this Framework

The New Build Framework helps to ensure safe and comfortable living arrangements for residents. It ensures energy-efficient and warm homes, directly helping residents reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills, and allows housing providers or local authorities to implement stairlifts and lifting equipment in new build homes to ensure vulnerable residents can live safely and independently at home.

It can also be aligned with other dedicated solutions like the Technology Enabled Lives Framework to help traditional analogue safety systems transfer to modernised systems.

The benefits of this framework include:

• using suppliers who are located across England and Wales
• providing a straightforward, compliant route to market
• supporting residents by meeting health and safety and energy efficiency regulations
• delivering a turnkey development solution covering all access of new build and refurbishment
