54 Contractors Appointed to New £285 Million Roofing Systems Framework

A TOTAL of 54 contractors have been appointed to the latest Roofing Systems and Associated Works (RS5) framework.

The LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) framework can be used by public sector clients across England, Scotland and Wales for all new-build, refurbishment, retrofit and emergency repair projects to provide faster access to pre-approved roofing manufacturers and contractors.

There is a larger selection of approved suppliers on this latest framework and the majority, 93%, are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This includes one micro, 29 small, and 20 medium-sized businesses.

“Not only does this offer greater flexibility and competition, but also ensures more regional delivery capacity,” said Graham Collie, LHCPG’s Director of Product Innovation.

“This supports local economies while maintaining manufacturer-approved quality and warranty assurance across all roofing projects, from standard renewals to innovative new roofing solutions or energy efficiency upgrades.”

RS5 Roofing Systems Framework

A manufacturer-led framework, RS5 contractors have been approved by the corresponding manufacturers to deliver work using certified systems with full warranty protection.

“Such an approach eliminates uncertainty for clients, reduces risk, and provides confidence that installations meet the highest technical and regulatory standards from design through to completion,” Graham added.

Social Value

As a not-for-profit organisation, LHCPG embeds social value into every framework and invests framework surpluses into its Community Benefit Fund.

Michael McLaughlin, LHC Group Social Value Manager

Michael McLaughlin, LHCPG’s Social Value Manager, said: “RS5 strengthens regional evaluation and reporting to ensure projects deliver local employment, training and community investment.

“Its predecessor, RS4, enabled 121 projects worth £44.6 million nationwide. RS5 now expands that impact with clearer regional accountability, SME participation and sustainability metrics.”

The framework runs until October 2029 and direct award routes are available for time-sensitive or grant-funded work.

Roofing Systems and Associated Works (RS5) framework is divided into five workstreams:

1. Flat Roofing
2. Liquid Flat Roofing
3. Pitched Metal Roofing
