Buyer	West Yorkshire Combined Authority — not a council we hold
Supplier	Cushman & Wakefield

The £3.2m Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) will be available from November 2023 until March 2026 to be utilised on commercial and property advice to build a pipeline of investible housing projects across West Yorkshire. West Yorkshire Combined Authority has a Strategic Housing Sites Pipeline with the capacity to deliver c.35,000 homes. The housing pipeline consists of sites that without public sector intervention the market would not bring forward for development. In addition, the sites are regarded as having the strongest strategic fit with regional objectives within the Strategic Economic Framework. The projects across the pipeline vary significantly in the levels of technical knowledge and project development. Therefore, projects require further intelligence to be brought forward to an 'investment ready' position or a position where a business case for intervention could be developed. The purpose of the fund is to provide commercial and technical advice to local authority partners to begin to bring these sites closer to a deliverable position. This tender will seek to procure a consultant to work with the both the Combined Authority and local authority partners to ensure focused activity across the HAF in identifying and better understanding the housing site opportunities across West Yorkshire.

Figures are as published An award value in OCDS may be a framework ceiling rather than a sum anyone expects to spend, so a large figure here is not evidence of a large purchase.
