Setting the standards in flat roofing procurement A commitment to partnership The LHC is the procurement consortium behind the new FR1 procurement arrangement for flat roofing in the public sector. It means anyone responsible for agreeing contracts for flat roof refurbishment or new build, anywhere in the country, now has a common set of standards by which to choose their installer and supplier. That s great news for everyone concerned because it links local authorities, roofing contractors and manufacturers of flat roofing systems in a process that drives up quality of service and guarantees the best possible end result at the best possible value for money. A one stop shop for flat roof contractors The LHC is currently used by over 150 public sector clients and helps procure around 70 million of building and estate management services per year. To assist those whose job it is to procure flat roofing, they have assessed and evaluated suppliers for price, service, specification and quality. This gives you the peace of mind of a pre-tendered, OJEU compliant process that meets your efficiency, cost and sustainability objectives.

What is the LHC? LHC is a not-for-profit local government organisation that provides independent and cost effective procurement solutions for local authorities, housing associations and other public sector bodies. It offers purchasing framework arrangements for a wide range of building services, materials and contracts. How does the LHC work? Framework arrangements are established with appointed companies and suppliers after an exhaustive selection process based on service levels, quality, value, competence and compliance criteria. These frameworks are made available to public sector procurers who can then contract with their preferred supplier either directly or via mini-competition. The LHC then works with customers to monitor and validate performance throughout the contract. What is FR1? All framework arrangements are given a designated code. In the case of flat roofing services, it s FR1. The FR1 framework arrangement provides a full range of specialist flat roofing installation works for refurbishment and new build, carried out by installers appointed following an OJEU compliant tender process. How can LHC help me? By developing a list of approved flat roofing contractors and manufacturers in your region, LHC is able to maintain quality and service levels in line with all EU and UK standards and building regulations. FR1 includes an extensive range of roofing systems and balcony waterproofing works for all types of public sector buildings including social housing, schools and colleges, offices, hospitals and car parks.
