Help shape the next phase of Prisoners Building Homes
Local Government, Public Sector Delivery Body
Local Partnerships has launched a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise to explore how additional expertise, technology and delivery capacity could support the continued growth of Prisoners Building Homes (PBH).
As the programme grows, there is an opportunity to strengthen the expertise, systems and delivery infrastructure around the existing PBH team. The aim is to help PBH work more efficiently, respond flexibly to a growing pipeline of opportunities and support more housing projects, while retaining its leadership of the programme and its client relationships.
Supporting the programme’s growth
Through this market engagement exercise, Local Partnerships is exploring an approach that could bring together:
Professional and technical expertise across the housing development lifecycle
Technology, data and automation to make delivery smarter, faster and more scalable
Integrated ways of working that bring the right expertise together around each site
Flexible capacity that can respond as the number, stage and complexity of opportunities change
We are interested in ideas that could help PBH assess and prioritise opportunities more efficiently, streamline workflows and improve multidisciplinary coordination and programme reporting.
The exercise will also consider how additional professional capacity could support projects from feasibility and planning through to procurement and construction.
Who we want to hear from
We welcome responses from organisations that can offer expertise, technology, innovation or a combination of these capabilities, including:
Multidisciplinary consultancies
Development and programme managers
Planning and design practices
Commercial and technical specialists
Technology and PropTech providers
Data and analytics specialists
Small and medium-sized enterprises
We are also keen to hear from organisations with ideas about how these different capabilities could be brought together effectively.
This Preliminary Market Engagement exercise is an opportunity for PBH to understand what the market can offer, learn from organisations taking innovative approaches and help shape the programme’s next phase of growth.
