The Delivery Partner DPS will be a key tool for the delivery of Homes England's housing-led developments. The DPS will be used by Homes England and also be made available to other public bodies as part of Homes England's enabling role. The Scope of Works and all other supporting information is available within the procurement documentation.
Homes England's Land Hub provides information on the sites we expect to bring to market www.gov.uk/government/publicati… ↗
It is likely that many of the projects procured through the DPS will have long build-out durations and it is anticipated that some of these will take up to 10 years to complete.
Our DPS (both categories) will cover all areas in England but suppliers will be asked to select at selection questionnaire stage which areas of the country they would be interested in receiving opportunity notifications for.
These 9 regional subcategories are:
- East Midlands
- East of England
- London
- North East
- North West
- South East
- South West
- West Midlands
- Yorkshire and The Humber
DPS Suppliers will also be asked to select (for both categories) which Development Types they would be interested in receiving opportunity notifications for. These 5 subcategories are:
- General residential led development
- Sites including conversion, refurbishment and works to listed buildings
- Sites to be delivered via a construction and direct contracting approach
- Sites including Extra Care and other forms of supported living
- Sites providing 100% Affordable Housing
DPS Suppliers will be able to amend their subcategory preferences at any point as their business grows and develops.
We plan to add additional categories over time and all DPS members will be invited to express interest in any additional categories.
We will offer an initial opportunity to join the DPS, this will run from 24 May 2021 to 5pm on 25 June 2021. We will then evaluate responses and reopen the opportunity to apply from 1 September 2021. Calls for competition will be published from September 2021 onwards.
