Framework Description
KCS Procurement Services is preparing a new Modular Buildings & Storage Solutions framework (Y26020) for public bodies that need temporary, semi-permanent and modular buildings, together with storage solutions. KCS lists it as coming soon in its framework catalogue. Public bodies across the UK, Channel Islands and Northern Ireland will be able to use it with permission from KCS.
Context & Use Case
Councils, schools, universities, NHS bodies, police and fire services use modular buildings to deal quickly with space shortages, such as extra classrooms, temporary offices or clinical space during refurbishment. Modular construction avoids the delays of traditional building projects, and storage units meet short-term or seasonal needs. Buyers will want suppliers who can design, deliver, install, maintain and later remove a structure.
Scope of Services
Design and planning of temporary structures Construction and installation of modular buildings Portable cabins and temporary offices Temporary classrooms and healthcare facilities Storage solutions Maintenance and removal of temporary structures

Who Can Apply
Modular building manufacturers, portable cabin hire firms, installers and storage providers with public sector experience. The framework is not yet awarded, so suppliers get on by bidding when KCS publishes the tender; prepare your bid now.
Buyer Benefits
Modular buildings let public bodies add space far faster than a traditional build, and move or remove it when no longer needed. A national framework gives them a compliant route to buy or hire structures with installation and maintenance included, without running their own tender.
Next Steps
Watch KCS's website and Find a Tender for the Y26020 tender. Prepare case studies of public sector modular projects, building regulation compliance, delivery timescales and sustainability credentials. Decide whether you will offer purchase, hire or both, and price for installation and removal.
How Athena Can Help
With the Y26020 tender coming, Athena can help you prepare early. Our bid for the bid planning sets the timetable and resources, and our bid writing consultants for construction produce responses around delivery speed, compliance and sustainability, with pricing that wins against established modular suppliers.
We can also add other modular and construction frameworks to a 6–12 month framework pipeline, so you prepare ahead of each opening rather than reacting to tight deadlines.
