Description

Conwy County Borough Council (the "Council") is looking to procure (using the Open Procedure) a panel of suitably-qualified Registered Social Landlords ("RSLs") to an "Affordable Housing Framework" (the "Framework") to deliver a step change in the volume and quality of affordable homes (and ancillary mixed uses) in Conwy. The works to be delivered by the Framework may include affordable housing, extra care housing, specialist housing and other ancillary mixed uses on sites across Conwy. The Council has a number of sites (including but not limited to) the Heath, Llanfairfechan and Ty Mawr, Old Colwyn, and other sites (including Council owned properties which are declared surplus to requirements and which will be made available to Framework members for affordable housing) which it intends to release to the Framework members for delivery of new homes in Conwy. In order to be awarded a place on the Framework, RSLs will need to have a track record of successfully delivering new affordable homes in Conwy, be zoned to work in Conwy, have access to Welsh Government Social Housing Grant Programme, and be able to deliver new homes that meet Welsh Government standards. New affordable housing shall, where possible, incorporate Modern Methods of Construction, social value outcomes, and achieve sustainable standards. The Framework will allow the Council to make direct awards, or conduct mini-competitions in order to select RSLs to enter into Development Agreements, land disposal agreements, and other infrastructure agreements with RSLs appointed onto the Framework. The Framework will allow the Council and RSL panel members to conduct earlier discussions on what can be delivered on land which becomes available in Conwy over the duration of the Framework. The Council is looking to use the Framework as a means of achieving a step-change in the delivery and quality of affordable homes in Conwy.
