The consortium has also named members to frameworks for professional services, employers’ agents, purchaser agents, design, planning, clerks of works and structural, and mechanical and electrical engineering.
Saffer Cooper Consultancy, which manages the framework, said that more than 180 bids to join were received.
Wayne Gales, chief executive of Weaver Vale Housing Trust and chair of JV North, said: “Our new framework focuses on not only addressing the housing crisis but working together with contractors and consultants to create efficient and high-quality homes that contribute positively to the communities in which they are situated.
“The ‘building back fairer’ principle underpinning this framework will see the companies appointed working with our members to also provide clear social value outcomes, addressing key issues such as inequality, poor health, unemployment and apprenticeships.”
JV North’s members are: Bury Council, Johnnie Johnson Housing, One Manchester, Peaks and Plains Housing Trust, Muir Group, Plus Dane Housing, Sovini, Stockport Homes, Stockport Council, Torus, Trafford Housing Trust, Weaver Vale Housing Trust and Wythenshawe Community Housing Group.
