Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Procurement for Housing (PfH) has completed the procurement process for the "PfH Social Housing Emerging Disrupters 4 (SHED 4) Framework Agreement". PfH, a national procurement consortium for the social housing sector, acts as both a central purchasing body and a contracting authority. This framework agreement, which falls under the industry category of "General public services", aims to provide innovative products and services that benefit the housing and wider public sector.
The procurement process followed an open procedure and was open to submissions until 28 October 2024. The contract was awarded on 21 January 2025, with a total value of £100,000,000. This contract spans the UK, making it relevant for suppliers from England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
The SHED 4 framework presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for start-ups, SMEs, and established companies offering innovative solutions. The framework enables small and medium-sized enterprises to gain exposure and market their inventions to the public sector, thereby fostering new business opportunities and promoting market expansion. Given its inclusive nature, companies with novel services and products that can deliver clear benefits to the social housing market are well-suited to compete.
This framework is an excellent avenue for businesses looking to break into the social housing market or expand their footprint within the public sector.

The first Social Housing Emerging Disrupters (SHED) Framework Agreement was launched in January 2022, comprising 18 innovative solutions. The aim was to create a framework of innovation permitting start-ups, small and medium sized businesses and the voluntary sector as well as established larger companies to offer their innovative products and services to the public sector. To reflect the emerging nature of innovation, a second SHED Framework (SHED 2) was procured in 2022 with 20 suppliers appointed to provide services and SHED 3 was launched with 21 suppliers in January 2024. This procurement has been for SHED 4. The solution will enable PfH Members to select the most economically advantageous tender according to their specific requirements across a range of products and services that offer real and innovative benefit to the housing and wider public sector. The framework will provide successful suppliers with the opportunity to promote their innovation and will allow fledgling markets to test their true potential, providing the foundations for success and wider adoption across the public sector. The Framework Agreement will operate on a national basis, providing an offering suitable for members of PfH in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and other public bodies permitted to use this Framework Agreement.
