The new Roofing Systems Framework (RS5C) will be the successor to LHC's current and successful roofing Agreement (RS4) which is due to expire in May 2025. The aim in the development of this framework will be to provide an efficient, value for money procurement route for local authorities, social landlords and other public sector bodies for the design, supply and delivery of roofing systems and associated works in all types of public sector refurbishment and new build projects; including:

- Multi occupancy residential buildings (low/medium/high rise)

- Schools

- Colleges

- Universities

- Public offices

- NHS buildings

- Blue Light buildings

- Other public buildings

The LHC Roofing Framework is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for the refurbishment, replacement, and new-build installation of various roofing systems. This framework ensures that all works are carried out in strict accordance with manufacturer guidelines, industry best practices, and regulatory compliance.

Contractors are expected to collaborate closely with manufacturers to guarantee that system designs align with approved specifications. This includes reviewing architectural drawings, conducting detailed site surveys, identifying potential challenges, and ensuring proper material handling to maintain product integrity.

Works applicable across all workstreams include associated roofing components, such as roof lights, guttering, fascia, soffits, downpipes, flashings, roof safety markings, and scaffolding systems. Additionally, the supply and installation of solar PV systems are covered where applicable, as well as any necessary render repairs to parapets, upstands, or adjacent walls.

Workstream 1 - Traditional Flat Roofing: Covers the refurbishment, replacement, and new-build installation of built-up roofing, torch-on felt, cold-applied felt, single-ply bitumen membrane, and hot-melt roofing systems.

Workstream 2 - Liquid Flat Roofing: Focuses on cold-applied and hot-applied liquid roofing systems, including polyurethane-based, polymeric, and reinforced liquid membrane solutions

Workstream 3 - Profiled Metal Roofing: Covers the supply, refurbishment, and installation of standing seam, composite panel, built-up metal, corrugated metal, and secret-fix metal roofing systems.

Workstream 4 - Pitched Roofing: Includes the design, supply, and installation of plain tile, interlocking tile, slate, concrete tile, and profiled metal sheet roofing systems.

Workstream 5 - Mixed Roofing: Provides a hybrid approach, covering both flat and pitched roofing systems within a single project. This ensures seamless integration of multiple roofing types while maintaining consistency in quality assurance, contractor expertise, and compliance across different roofing applications
