Partner sought to help deliver 2,500 homes

THE Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, is giving housing developers an exciting opportunity to team-up with the City Council and help build the City's future.

A search has been launched for an official housing partner for Liverpool, to deliver 1,500 new homes for local people, and bring a further 1,000 properties back into use.

The Mayor is hosting a Bidders Event at Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool on Monday, 1 July 2013, to give public and private sector organisations the chance to learn more about the plans and find out about the bidding process.

The partnership will support the Mayor's pledge to deliver thousands of new and refurbished homes over the next three years.

Mayor Joe Anderson said:- "I promised to build 5,000 new homes in Liverpool by 2016. We're already building 2,500 of them. We want everyone in Liverpool to have access to a decent home, and that's why improving our housing stock is one of my top priorities. To achieve this, it's vital that we work creatively with other organisations from the public and private sector.  This partnership will help us build on the fantastic progress we are making in housing in this City, unlocking new investment opportunities, and allowing us to pool resources and expertise. This is about improving the lives of thousands of local people, so we are only looking for organisations with a real commitment to housing regeneration and the track record to back it up.  We want to see innovation and a market-led approach in build development and quality, to ensure the people of this City get the housing they deserve."

Liverpool City Council's Cabinet Member for Housing, Councillor Ann O'Byrne, said:- "We continue to make great strides in housing in this City, and this new partnership will help propel our work faster and further than ever before. It's about working in collaboration with other organisations to deliver the housing the people of this City so desperately need.  We're looking forward to sharing our plans with organisations and I'm confident that they will share our enthusiasm. It's a win-win situation, because it will increase our ability to drive forward with our housing programme, while giving our partner or partners a unique opportunity to invest in one of the country's most dynamic, forward thinking cities."

Proposals which require the Council to underwrite investment will be rejected.  The procurement documents can be viewed online.  The closing date for submission of the Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) is Friday, 19 July 2013.
