Development

Social housing providers face a multitude of challenges when it comes to developing new properties or refurbishing existing ones. These challenges range from financial constraints and compliance requirements to changing regulations and the need for sustainable and energy efficient building solutions.

There is a growing need for more affordable homes. Effective procurement plays a crucial role in addressing this issue, as it ensures that organisations have access to the right suppliers, contractors and consultants who can help deliver affordable housing projects.

The CHIC Development Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) provides a compliant and efficient route to market for these services, offering a range of Lots to meet the needs of housing associations and local authorities.

With the CHIC Development DPS, organisations can have the confidence that they are working with high quality suppliers who can help to deliver much needed affordable housing developments.
