Brownfield Solutions Ltd appointed to £1.5 billion Innovation Chain North (ICN) framework by Great Places Housing Group

June 2024

We are delighted to announce that our member company, Brownfield Solutions Ltd, has been appointed as Site Investigation Services provider for the Innovation Chain North (ICN) framework by Great Places Housing Group, selected based on their technical competence, price, and commitment to social value.

The ICN 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 and Local Authorities operating across the north of England. The new £1.5 billion framework will run until June 2028.

Social value continues to be a key priority for the latest framework with pledges from successful firms including apprenticeships, work experience opportunities and volunteering hours. The suppliers on the previous 4-year framework are set to deliver more than £20m in added social value.

“We’re thrilled that BSL is one of the eight successful consultants appointed as a Site Investigation Services provider. We’re very much looking forward to making an impact towards creating sustainable, quality, affordable housing across the region.” Comments Aaron Stokoe, Associate.

“This prestigious appointment is a fantastic reflection of the values of Celnor as a Group as well as our member companies. Working with and supporting a variety of communities is key to building a sustainable future.” Simon Clennell-Jones, Managing Director, Celnor Group.
