Some big name housebuilders not on the list as full details are revealed

The government鈥檚 housing quango has left some big names off the list after appointing 66 developers to a new 拢20bn procurement framework.

Homes England鈥檚 鈥渄ynamic purchasing system鈥, which replaces the agency鈥檚 previous delivery partner panel (DPP3), is the mechanism by which firms can get access to development opportunities on Homes England land.

The framework includes developers such as housebuilder Persimmon and Edaroth, an offsite business set up by engineer Atkins, for the first time. Homes England said that 24 firms 鈥 more than a third 鈥 are small or medium-sized businesses, who can gain access by a simpler application process.

However, big-name developers including Redrow, Bloor, L&G and Urban Splash, plus major developing housing associations such as Clarion, Homes Group and L&Q 鈥 all of whom were on the DPP3 鈥 are not yet on the framework.

Under the new dynamic purchasing system, additional players can apply to join the framework at any point, meaning those listed above are not necessarily cut out of access to Homes England projects for the life of the framework. The previous DPP was only renewed once every four years, meaning firms not on the list were unable to apply to build out projects on Homes England land.

Plans for Homes England鈥檚 Northern Arc site at Burgess Hill

The quango said it planned to put 拢20bn of development opportunities through the framework, with a 14-acre site at Burgess Hill for around 350 homes likely to be among the first to come forward.

to set up the new 鈥渄ynamic purchasing system鈥 earlier this year. Homes England鈥檚 chief land and development officer Stephen Kinsella told the magazine that the system was designed to allow the agency to respond quickly to changes in the market, including encouraging the development of new entrants.

Kinsella said today that the agency had also simplified the process, and that the new system 鈥渕arks a significant step forward in the way we work with developers to build homes鈥.

Housing minister Christopher Pincher said he welcomed the change of approach, adding it would 鈥渟upport SMEs while providing more opportunities for home ownership to hard-working people across the country鈥.
