Empowering Social Housing Through Strategic Procurement
PfH Live 2026 brings together housing professionals, procurement experts, and industry innovators to Warrington for a flagship regional summit designed to transform how public sector housing organisations operate. Organised by Procurement for Housing (PfH), this conference addresses the most pressing operational, financial, and regulatory pressures facing social housing providers across the UK. Attendees will gain practical, forward-thinking guidance aimed at converting legislative mandates into sustainable community impact.
Navigating Regulatory Change and Compliance
With regulatory oversight tightening across the sector, maintaining strict compliance is vital. PfH Live features dedicated briefing sessions focused on navigating consumer standards, building safety legislation, and statutory repair requirements. Industry specialists will break down complex legal frameworks—such as Awaab’s Law and updated Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) guidance—providing housing associations with actionable steps to eliminate hazards, manage damp and mould, and safeguard residents.
Driving Sustainability and Net-Zero Targets
Achieving net-zero emissions while managing tight budgets remains a major challenge for property directors. This conference presents realistic, cost-effective pathways for retrofitting existing housing stock. Discover how strategic procurement frameworks can accelerate local authority decarbonisation schemes, optimize energy efficiency, and deliver warm, healthy homes for tenants without overwhelming internal resources.
Leveraging Digital Innovation and Spend Analytics
Data and digital tools are redefining how procurement teams deliver value. The conference highlights modern technology platforms—including spend and contract management platforms like Quantum—that offer total transparency across supply chains. Delegates will learn how artificial intelligence and data-led decision-making can streamline administrative processes, identify hidden cost savings, and strengthen supplier performance.
Fostering High-Impact Collaboration
Beyond keynote speeches and breakout panels, PfH Live offers a collaborative space for peers to network, swap insights, and solve shared challenges. The exhibition floor features leading suppliers demonstrating the latest solutions in building materials, fire safety, telecommunications, and property maintenance. By bridging the gap between social housing providers and market suppliers, PfH Live ensures every attendee leaves equipped to maximize social value and drive resilience within their local communities.
