Pretium and GFP Launch New Decarbonisation Delivery Framework

Pretium Frameworks and Greener Futures Partnership launched a new framework today, to provide retrofit and professional consultancy services to support housing providers with the delivery of decarbonisation works.  
 
Developed with lead Contracting Authority Abri Group, on behalf of Greener Futures Partnership (GFP), the seven-year framework has been designed to ensure that homes achieve at least an EPC Rating of C by the government target date of 2030.  
 
GFP was set up by five housing associations – Abri, Anchor, Home Group, The Hyde Group and Sanctuary – in 2021, as its members believed that a joint effort would be more effective in helping the social housing sector seriously address the green agenda. Between them they have a combined stock of over 300,000 homes and represent 9% of the total social housing market. GFP partners won all three bids submitted in SHDF wave one with local authorities, securing £5.2m of grant funding for 461 properties, as well as successfully bidding for a further £40.4m, in SHDF wave two through a joint consortium bid including all five partners. 
 
The multi-lot, multi-supplier framework, covers England and Wales, with a separate parallel framework for Scotland due to launch next month. It has been designed with flexibility in mind to enable organisations large and small to deliver a full range of retrofit works through a one-stop shop solution.  
 
The procurement process was collaborative from start to finish, with all partners involved at every stage, alongside resident engagement from all member organisations, and documentation was co-produced with Echelon Consultancy, which procured the framework.  
 
It is split into three workstreams, two delivering construction works across different value bands and one delivering professional services, covering all roles specified under PAS 2035.  These are further broken down into regional sub-lots, covering North England & North Wales, Midlands & Mid Wales, South West England & South Wales, South & East England and London.
