City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) wish to use the Dudley MBC Framework Agreement to deliver new affordable homes across a number of housing revenue account owned sites. The Framework can be accessed through an Authorising Agreement that CWC would need to sign up to, all Underlying Contracts are then "called off" under the terms of the Framework Agreement. This report seeks delegated authority to award contracts via the Dudley Framework for development of new affordable homes within Wolverhampton in the interim period, while CWC procure a bespoke housing development framework for future housing development projects. The Dudley Framework is based on Lots and CWC would like to deliver some of or all the following projects through this framework: Ettingshall Road, Magic Gardens, Old Fallings Crescent, Reedham Gardens, Showell Circus and Villiers Avenue. The delivery would be through a direct award Provider, namely Jessup Partnerships, who are awarded to Lot 2 of the framework, Small Sites, which is a single-supplier lot. The use of the Framework will allow us to deliver "more and better homes" to meet the local housing need on an improved timeline, with a known local affordable home delivery contractor who has worked successfully with staff over the recent years. The second development to be delivered through the DMBC Framework is Ettingshall Road, Ettingshall North. A proposed contract figure has been negotiated between CWC and Morro Partnerships of £2,997,185.01. This is to deliver eleven houses in accordance with Planning Reference 23/00607/FUL.

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.
