Under Action 59 of the Housing for All Action Plan Update and Q3 2023 Progress Report Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) criteria are being developed for use in evaluating tenders for public contracts for housing.
In this regard, a range of evaluation criteria are being researched and developed which can be used to evaluate tenders for public contracts for housing. This is to take account of new and emerging MMC approaches to construction.
This work is scheduled for completion in Q2 2024 in line with the Housing for All commitment.
The Government publishes quarterly Housing for All progress reports, which detail the progress made on all Housing for All actions and policy objectives that have a delivery timeline relevant to the publication. These can be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/9d2ee-housing-for-all-quarterly-progress-reports/.
