Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Services (MDC1) Framework

This framework has been developed to provide an efficient, value for money procurement route for local authorities, registered social landlords, councils, boards, trusts, and other public sector bodies seeking a comprehensive range of high-quality consultancy services across multiple disciplines.

Suitable for public sector refurbishment and new build projects of all sizes, it will enable organisations to access pre-approved suppliers to achieve a compliant asset management regime across a range of buildings including:

• Publicly funded schools, universities and colleges
• NHS healthcare buildings
• Fire, ambulance and police stations
• Public offices
• Community buildings
• Residential properties (when part of a mixed-use development)
• Student accommodation
• Commercial to residential conversions
• Other public buildings

In addition to providing our clients with competitively tendered Framework Agreements for building works, goods, and services LHC is committed to delivering tangible social value and community benefits in meeting local and regional needs. LHC work with our clients and appointed companies to ensure that wherever possible projects delivered using our Frameworks leave a social legacy.

LHC has aligned its activities to create the LHC Lifetime Values, which uses the 4 key value capitals as identified in the value toolkit by the Construction Innovation Hub.

During the life of the Framework LHC will work with clients and appointed companies to promote, identify, implement, and monitor the impact of these value categories, which could be supported by social value and community benefit initiatives alongside the delivery of the works or service contracts in meeting local and regional needs.
