Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now being welcomed from delivery organisations which are interested in submitting tenders to work with Hull City Council to deliver its Housing Growth Plan, which will provide affordable homes across the city to support the ambitions within the Council’s Housing Strategy.
The first new homes are planned for the Pickering development in the west of the city, where the existing Boothferry Flats will be demolished, and also at Selworthy Close in Bransholme.
The proposals in the Housing Growth Plan will add hundreds of homes to the city’s housing stock over the next 6 years and engagement with the market through this preliminary process will shape the Housing Procurement Strategy that will enable the Council to deliver upon its ambition.
Portfolio holder for economic renewal and housing, Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, said: “We know that there is a housing crisis in the country, which shows no sign of waning, so it’s important that we bring forward our ambitious approach to bring affordable choices to the people of our city.
“We know that from listening to our residents when putting together our Community Plan that their top priority is safe, affordable and comfortable places to live.
“We now have our Housing Growth Plan in place until 2031, and these proposals form a key part of that.
“We’re now seeking prospective delivery partners across the construction industry who have a strong focus on partnership and working collaboratively, so that they can help deliver good quality Council homes across Hull.”
Interested parties can access the EOI via the YORtender platform, reference number 100283, with a return date of Friday 22nd August.
