LHC (acting as the Central Purchasing Body for the Welsh Procurement Alliance -WPA), has established this DPS for residential construction (including any associated community buildings and facilities) across South and Mid-Wales. The DPS consists of three workstreams.

Bidders can apply for multiple workstreams and value bands available within a specific workstream. Each workstream also contains 17 regional areas/lots across 16 South and Mid-Wales counties that applicants can select to carry out their services within.

The works (including associated services and / or Supplies) which can be delivered includes the development of new build housing projects, including ‘Housing’ (houses, bungalows, flats, apartments etc.) and ‘Accommodation’ (sheltered accommodation, care homes, extra care (e.g. dementia) student accommodation etc.) There is also a specialist lot within each county to provide for the construction of Accommodation. The DPS also allows for the refurbishment and alteration of existing buildings as part of new build schemes or building conversion to residential accommodation.
