EP plans national framework for council housebuilding

摘要

English Partnerships is considering drawing up a national framework for the private developers that are to help restart councils' housing programmes. EP this week issued guidance to 14 councils taking part in a trial of this programme outlining how it will work. It has also held discussions with developers, housebuilders and contractors about handling procurement on a national basis because it is concerned that councils may lack the staff to run procurement programmes.
