Description

The Prior Information Notice (“PIN”) is not a call to competition.

Total Quantity or Scope

We know that attracting and retaining property professionals with broad industry knowledge and expertise who can be deployed to work on other regeneration and housing growth initiatives are a significant barrier to housing delivery. We are looking to address these skills gaps pragmatically and build capacity in an effective and cost-efficient way within the local government sector. The purpose of this exercise is to test the market and understand if there are suppliers who can meet this challenge by designing a model, which after an initial injection of funding for set up costs, can become self-sustaining. The model must meet the requirements, outputs and milestones set out below, which in summary includes: 1. Identifying a region outside of London & South East 2. Place a minimum of 22 build environment practitioners on placements of 12+ months, 3. Developing a way of identifying potential Local Government Authorities (Authorities) placements and recruiting a cohort to place in roles within the selected region 4. Creating a learning and development programme to encourage the sharing of information across the candidates and Authorities in the region, 5. Devising a programme to support candidates through their placement lifecycle, and 6. Developing evaluation and success factors to monitor the project’s performance and success.
