For all roofing projects across the UK, the LHC has appointed Bauder Ltd to provide a comprehensive survey and specification service with installation available by approved contractors. Bauder offers a greater scope of products than previously available through the LHC procurement network with all forms of flat roofing systems including bituminous, single ply, hot melt and green roofs; additionally pitched roofs are offered through Bauder’s association with Lafarge Roofing Ltd.

The LHC is a not-for-profit, local government organisation providing procurement solutions for public sector buildings.  The purpose of LHC is to establish, develop and maintain arrangements for the procurement of building components and services, together with supporting documentation and service, to help public sector bodies throughout the United Kingdom in their projects for the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of buildings.

The benefit is that all the products and services offered through the LHC Network have been evaluated and selected in strict accordance with the European Directive for Public Works, Supplies and Contracts, and are ready-to-use. The LHC have already agreed the following in a framework under the EX1R arrangement:

Price negotiation - better prices for roofing waterproofing components and services
Price Control – prices can only increase in line with the inflation index published by the DTI.
Specification Development – efficiency gains achieved without compromising quality
Tendering Costs - all the products and services have been evaluated and selected in strict accordance with the European Directive for Public Works, Supplies and Contracts, so you don’t have to repeat the process.
Performance Monitoring – free site inspections and reports provided by LHC Technical Officers.

The alliance between Bauder and Lafarge ensures that whatever the requirement, whether it’s for flat or pitched roofing or even green roofs, the client is assured of the best quality product at the most competitive pricing.
