Focused Strategy

The alliance currently consists of 23 registered social housing providers (continually growing), all of whom have a strategic intent to grow their offsite housing portfolio, with ‘registered’ supply chain partners.

Supply chain partners, are being procured through a carefully crafted OSHA MMC Framework. Homes England and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) are also supporting the alliance to achieve its ambition across the development and delivery phases.

Phase 1 of the programme has been established to form the alliance, set up the governance and road mapping and to start the engagement of the supply chain partners, coordinated by a Project Director and the expert working groups. A full Business Case has been produced and is being followed and updated accrodingly.

Phases 2 & 3 of the programme was set set out as exploration and development, looking at designs, land availability, assessing individual registered providers’ needs, real performance monitoring, off-site technology analysis and certification positions.

Phase 4 brings in analysis of the intelligence model, development of the emerging continuity business plan and discussions around potential manufacturing options for the alliance. The ongoing ambition of founder members is to set up its own delivery model with potential supply chain partners.

Significant detail of the alliance’ plans in terms of roadmaps, Gantt charts and more will be made available to stakeholders and partners in the partners area.
