PfH Live The Social Housing Procurement Summit

The PfH Live Social Housing Procurement Summit is the premier regional gathering for procurement professionals, asset managers, and housing executives across the North West. As the social housing sector faces unprecedented pressure from rising material costs, decarbonization targets, and the stringent requirements of the Social Housing (Regulation) Act, this event serves as a critical knowledge-sharing platform. This 2026 edition focuses specifically on "Future-Proofing through Innovation," exploring how technology and collaborative purchasing can safeguard the long-term viability of community housing.

Attendees will delve into a comprehensive program featuring keynote addresses from the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and technical deep-dives led by the PfH consultancy team. The event is designed to break down the complexities of the latest Procurement Act, offering practical workshops on compliant direct awards and mini-competitions. We will explore the "Golden Thread" of building safety data and how procurement acts as the foundation for safe, high-quality homes.

Beyond the technical sessions, the summit offers an expansive exhibition zone showcasing the latest in sustainable building materials, IoT-enabled home monitoring, and social value tracking software. This is not just a conference; it is a collaborative environment where housing providers can meet pre-vetted suppliers and discuss bespoke category strategies. Whether you are focused on the "Better Social Housing Review" or looking to optimize your asset management budget, PfH Live provides the roadmap for 2026 and beyond.
