The Social Housing Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme is designed to deliver:
- social housing developments via project ‘bundles’ of sites;
- the provision of services to the developments over a 25 year period following construction that will include the maintenance and upkeep of the housing and tenancy management services; and
- the return of the developments to the relevant local authorities after 25 years in a pre-defined condition.
The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is the approving authority for the programme with the NDFA as financial advisor, procuring authority and project manager, working closely with the relevant local authorities.
Bundle 6 is currently in pre-procurement and includes c. 480 homes across 7 sites.
All homes in the first and second bundles have been delivered. The procurement process has commenced for the third bundle and planning permission has been granted for all sites in the bundle. Bundles 4 and 5 are in pre-procurement with technical advisor appointments recently completed. Bundle 7 is in pre-procurement. Further details on these project bundles are available below.
