Tender for a Lead Delivery and Coordination Partner for Powys CC's Home Grown Homes Project.

Powys County Council wishes to engage with a single partner to deliver and co-ordinate the Home Grown Homes Project.

The Home Grown Homes Project is a longitudinal study into supply chain development in Wales' timber industry to:

— Build supply-chain capacity along established processing chain to increase local/homegrown market share;

— Work with ‘clients’ increasing local/homegrown product demands in high performance, low carbon, new build/retrofit social housing;

— Increase higher value local/homegrown timber availability;

— Support the use of local/homegrown timber in broader construction developments;

— Liberate socio-economic value.

The role of the delivery and co-ordination partner will be to run a supply chain development service testing via various pilot projects. It will also involve assessment of the effectiveness in delivery of the pilots, making recommendations over time in terms of increasing the effectiveness of supply chain intervention.
