Building Better and PfH bring you this fully compliant route to market for volumetric, offsite built homes, with quality, price certainty and user experience at the heart of our offer.

Why chose a DPS rather than a framework
MMC Category 2 is supported via a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which allows robust assessment of manufacturer credentials without limiting the number of organisations that can potentially provide service. As the marketplace continues to grow and develop, this allows manufacturers to join the programme at a future date, should they not meet the strict minimum requirements today.
How it works
Ultimately, the DPS is structured to allow flexibility in all aspects of the development lifecycle, we identify the credentials of each manufacturer, their particular nuances of both product and service offering and then match that with client brief/specification in advance of mini competition. This drastically reduces the complexity of the call-off process as the manufacturers being approached have already demonstrated their capability in delivering the core elements of the requirement.

“Conversations with manufacturers have been really organic. We told them about the sites in planning and asked them to take a look. They did site visits and became part of the project team along with our architects. Manufacturers looked at the architect’s design and they are now working up what changes, if any, need to be made for delivery. That wouldn’t have been possible without the Building Better framework. It allows this early engagement with the market where you can actually use their design experience to shape schemes.”
