## About this framework

Provides a simple, low-cost way to achieve your offsite solution needs. You can buy or hire offsite solutions that are designed and manufactured to your particular specification.

This agreement offers an alternative to a traditionally built environment. It provides a complete ‘turn key’ package solution, which means you can use this agreement to access everything you need for your offsite construction solution.

The framework offers both ‘3D volumetric modular’ which refers to entire units or rooms being built to a ‘finish’ in offsite factories and craned into place on site and also ‘2D panelised’ which refers to individual walls and floors being built at offsite facilities and then erected on site.

Suppliers can manufacture solutions off site and then transport them to site for installation, reducing disruption and lead time.

The services are provided both nationally or locally for both permanent and temporary buildings.

This agreement has 6 lots and a number of sub-lots. All of the lots and sub-lots are listed in the products and suppliers section below.

If you are buying from lot 1 or its sub lots, you can ask for the DFE approved designs/drawings for classrooms, as stated in the specification for lot 1, by sending an email to offsite@gca.gov.uk

There is no maximum contract length.

This agreement expires on 31 March 2027, except for Lot 5: defence, which expires on 23 January 2030.
