NEW PROJECT: HOLLOWAY HEAD

MPB is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a contract to complete a package of works including RC frame and associated works to Stage 2 of the Holloway Head development in Birmingham (Blocks A & B) for valued client Winvic, with a value of approximately £9 million (this is an addition to blocks C & D at circa £8 million).

The Stage 2 works will include enabling works, piling, excavation and construction of a double height basement providing space for plant, storage and car parking before the construction of reinforced concrete frames for Blocks A & B.

A podium ground floor level and associated green space will also be created. Blocks A & B are 10-11 storey blocks. Overall, the scheme will create 484 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments across 4 new multi-storey blocks between 14 and 8 storeys high.

The site currently incorporates the Girl Guides Birmingham HQ building which will be relocated into a purpose-built section of the development and the old building demolished to make way for the new buildings.

The scheme will also provide generous and wide-ranging residents’ amenity space which includes a media lounge, co-working spaces, formal lounges, dining area, gym, landscaped courtyards, and roof terraces.

MPB Welcomes New Procurement Policy Note Prioritising Skills in Public Contracts
MPB Structures welcomes the recent announcement from the Cabinet Office regarding the new Procurement Policy Note (PPN). Effective from January 2027, the updated framework will double the minimum social value weighting to 20 per cent on government contracts valued at £5 million or more. Most notably, the policy refines social value outcomes to two core criteria: ‘good jobs’ and ‘skills’. This structural change means that apprenticeships, training, and work placements will effectively count for double in the bidding process. As an organisation deeply committed to workforce development, we fully endorse this strategic alignment of public spending with long-term skills generation.
