Project Background
The Government’s “Housing for All” Plan aims to increase the use of PPPs to deliver social housing.
On the 22nd June 2022, the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien, welcomed the launch of Bundles 4 and 5 of the new Public Private Partnership (PPP) programme for social housing delivery. View press release here
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.
Bundles 4 & 5 are in pre-procurement with technical advisor appointments recently completed. Bundle 4 includes c. 480 homes across 8 sites, and Bundle 5 includes c. 750 homes across 10 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. Bundle 6 is in pre-procurement. Further details on these project bundles are available below.
- Bundle 1 includes 534 homes across 6 sites
- Bundle 2 includes 465 homes across 8 sites
- Bundle 3 includes c. 486 homes across 6 sites
