My Department has recently asked all Local Authorities to review the social housing projects in their areas and in the interest of achieving earliest delivery, they have been requested to consider their suitability for Design and Build contracts under the Framework set up by the Office Of Government Procurement. They are being asked to consider, in particular, schemes which are amendable to early commencement, particularly in terms of their approved planning status.
