About PFH Procurement for Housing
Procurement for Housing is the national procurement consortium that truly delivers.

PfH is driving efficiency and improving procurement practice for more than 650 social housing providers throughout the UK.  Managing the purchasing and supply of over £1million of goods and services every week, the consortium has already created savings of over £15million. Dedicated to the Public Sector as the only national procurement organisation dedicated to the needs of the social housing sector, PfH is an essential business tool for social landlords. The consortium generates substantial savings by harnessing the collective purchasing power of housing organisations. By reducing procurement costs, organisations can reinvest resources in front-line services, decent homes and vibrant neighbourhoods.
