SHED 6 has been developed under the Procurement Act 2023 and continues PfH´s commitment to providing a route to market for innovative suppliers offering solutions that address current and future challenges faced by social housing providers and the wider public sector. The Framework is intended to encourage innovation, improve service delivery and provide Members with access to emerging technologies, products and services that deliver tangible benefits. The Framework will enable PfH Members to identify and appoint suppliers that offer the most advantageous solutions according to their specific requirements across a diverse range of innovative products and services. It will provide successful suppliers with the opportunity to promote and develop their innovations, supporting wider adoption and long-term growth across the public sector. The Framework Agreement will operate on a national basis, providing an offering suitable for PfH Members in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as other eligible public sector organisations permitted to utilise the Framework Agreement. Suppliers will not be excluded for being unable to service all geographical regions. Procurement for Housing has undertaken market engagement activities to ensure the Framework reflects both current and anticipated future requirements of its Members.
