East Yorkshire-based Integra Buildings has been appointed onto a £10 billion Government framework to drive investment in the modular and offsite construction sector.
The high-growth company has been named as a supplier on the newly-launched Offsite Construction Solutions list, which spans a variety of sectors including health, housing, education and defence. It means Integra will be able to tender for major contracts with public sector clients across the UK.
The framework, delivered by the Crown Commercial Service, comes into operation in April.

A total of 29 suppliers have been named on the new framework, which runs for four years, with the possibility of a three-year extension.
Gary Parker, managing director at Integra, based at Paull, east of Hull, said: “To be named on the new Offsite Construction Solutions framework is a huge vote of confidence in Integra and our proven capability to deliver major public sector projects to the very highest standards.
“Since being appointed onto the old framework four years ago, we’ve delivered some of the biggest projects in our 25-year history. Integra continues to grow and evolve, with clients right across the UK. The offsite and modular construction sector continues to expand at pace and being named on this framework ensures we’ll remain right at the forefront of that exciting journey.”
It is split up into six lots, each representing a different sector. Integra has been named in three lots – Built Estate including Education, Justice and Defence.
Since 2019 Integra has delivered a series of key projects for clients including Network Rail, the Environment Agency and the Department for Work and Pensions. Contracts completed under the previous framework include the construction of temporary housing for Reading Borough Council, a new job centre in Birmingham and modular units which were shipped to Cyprus for use by the Ministry of Defence.
Staff numbers have increased by almost 50 per cent in the period, to 160, with turnover on a similar trajectory, coming in at £42 million for 2022.
Integra designs and constructs buildings off-site in controlled conditions at its purpose-built factories, before delivering and installing them, a process that reduces project timescales and minimises disruption to customers.
John Welch, deputy director for construction at CCS, said: “This new framework will support the public sector in the design, delivery and commissioning of a whole range of offsite construction projects in the coming years, including social housing, new schools and hospital extensions. These projects, and the many more which will come, have the potential to improve services and the lives of millions of people.”
Integra has built a strong reputation over more than 25 years for its innovative, bespoke approach to modular construction, meaning it can match the design of a building to each client’s specific needs.
The past year has seen Integra completing significant contracts including the delivery of new offices for Triumph Motorcycles at its site in Coventry and providing school buildings across the country - from Merseyside to Surrey. It also forged a new partnership with More Housing to supply modular accommodation units to combat homelessness across the UK.
