My Department provides Unit Cost Ceilings (UCCs) to each local authority as a key benchmark for the development and costing of new build social housing. They are based on returned data from tendered social housing schemes over an extended period and are updated based on published tender index information as required. The current UCCs were issued to local authorities in April 2019, under Circular 13/2019 and will be provided to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.
