LHC selects 126 contractors for £660m retrofit framework

LHC Procurement Group has selected 126 building contractors for the N9 UK retrofit and decarbonization program. This program is an important part of the government’s plan to develop the building industry and house building. But what is included in this program, and how will it develop?

What Does This Program Present?

This program will operate until February 2029. Selected suppliers will receive funding and provide modernization services for residential and commercial properties to UK citizens.

The total project is valued at £660 million and includes:

• Consultations on potential work
• Multidisciplinary construction services
• Building insulation and efficiency improvements
• Low-carbon heating systems
• Control and management systems, as well as electrical services, including EV charging and solar photovoltaic (PV) installations

Which Plans Are for Contractors in the Future?

This project is just the first stage. If successful, further expansion and scaling are planned in the future.

LHCPG chief executive Clive Feeney said: “The N9 framework will play a vital role in helping local authorities and housing associations work towards the UK newest and boldest targets on decarbonization announced at COP29. As a country, we aim for an 81% cut in emissions by 2035. This will demand a huge push on the low-carbon retrofit of social homes and a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions across 1.9 million non-domestic public buildings too.”

Fencyx, as one of the leaders in the UK construction industry, also plans to participate in this project. This collaboration is important for us, and we have a lot to offer consumers, particularly in terms of insulation and energy-efficient materials.
