The new framework will be available for TPPL members to use from February 2027 and replaces the existing NEPO219 Building Materials & Modular Builds DPS.

TPPL and NEPO have developed the framework in partnership. Starting from February 2027, it will be available to all public sector organisations across the United Kingdom. The framework will appoint a range of suppliers across the six lots.
