JV North chair John Bowker said: “Consultants and contractors play an intrinsic part in our success as a consortium, having helped us build over 10,000 homes since forming.
“So we are really pleased with the quality and quantity of tenders received in what is our fourth framework and would like to thank everyone who applied. Competition was fierce with lots heavily oversubscribed.
“JV North is built on the strong foundation of partnership working returning better outcomes and this is certainly the case with our framework where contractors and consultants will help us build 3,000 homes at pace to meet the growing demand for housing across the northwest.â€
Saffer Cooper Consultancy, which manages JV North’s development programme, led the framework with support from consortium member Plus Dane Housing’s procurement team and law firm Trowers & Hamlins.
