Development

The Government has proposed a new framework for the way in which social housing is delivered. 

The new framework will:

  • give greater flexibility to social landlords to determine the types of tenancies they grant
  • will introduce a new Affordable Rent and
  • will provide new delivery model which will enable providers to use existing assets to reduce the amount of public funding needed to deliver new homes.

Contractors

Following the expiry of our last framework, the SDC now has a new contractor framework to help deliver these proposals over the next four years.

Our new contractor framework includes: EG Carter, ISG Pearce, Leadbitter Construction, Lovell, Rydon, Mansell, Galliford Try, Drew Smith, Bullock, Geoffrey Osbourne, Westbury homes and Bovis.

Knightstone, Somer and Aster Housing Associations have also linked with Sovereign and its partners and will also be using the contractor framework. This was made possible through their membership of Westworks Procurement Ltd.

Development opportunities

The Consortium will continue to work within the South West and are particularly interested in opportunities to buy land within our operating area below.
