My Department recently asked all local authorities to review the social housing projects in their areas and in the interest of achieving earliest delivery, they have been requested to consider their suitability for Design and Build contracts under the Rapid Build Framework set up by the Office of Government Procurement. They were asked to consider, in particular, schemes which are amenable to early commencement, particularly in terms of their approved planning status. In response, some authorities have indicated that a number of both approved schemes and additional schemes under consideration may be suitable and I expect to be in a position to announce details of these additional schemes shortly.
