A National Housing Federation-backed framework has appointed 20 traditional construction companies and two MMC firms to help increase the delivery of social housing through modern methods of construction.

Building Better, an alliance of 30 housing associations and local authorities backed by the National Housing Federation, along with the social housing procurement consortium Procurement for Housing, has appointed these 22 firms to an £800m framework that will span four years.  

There will be an option to extend the framework for a further two years.
