Eric Wright Construction successfully appointed to the Innovation Chain North Framework

Our Construction team has been appointed by Great Places Housing Group to its £1.5 billion Innovation Chain North (ICN) framework of contractors and consultants for the next 4 years.

The £1.5 billion framework has been designed to support delivery of new homes across the north of England, not only to support Great Places’ affordable development programme but also other Housing Associations operating across the north of England.

As one of the 103 contractors and consultants, from the 206 that applied to be successful, we were selected based on our technical competence, price and commitment to social value.

Commenting on our appointment, James Eager Director at Eric Wright Construction said “We’re proud to have been successful on the ICN framework tender. We have worked with Great Places previously on the Ancoats Dispensary project and are currently on site at their Laystall Street scheme, so we have a successful track record of working in partnership together and are looking forward to building on that relationship for future projects.”

Joanne Whitehead, Great Places’ Development Performance Manager, responsible for managing the framework, added “We are delighted to be working with Eric Wright Construction on our new ICN framework. We are confident they will be able to work with us and the clients of ICN in delivering the sector’s extensive development ambitions in the North.”

The new £1.5 billion framework will run until June 2028.
