Description

Lewes District Council (acting as the Lead Contracting Authority) and Eastbourne Borough Council each have significant housing development programmes that they would like to deliver, primarily for affordable housing. Some of these projects will be delivered through the standard appointment of traditional construction companies; however, the Councils have identified the significant time and quality benefits of delivering homes through off-site manufactured construction, and further time and cost benefits through appointing a single contractor to deliver a larger pipeline of its medium and small sites. The Councils would therefore like to appoint a single contractor to a Framework Agreement to be the main modular delivery partner to deliver a significant number of residential sites. The majority of sites would be already in the Councils’ ownership, but some may be purchased during the programme period.
