Interserve wins place on Homes and Communities Agency framework

International support services and construction group Interserve has won a place on the Homes and Communities Agency's £8b ‘Delivery Partner Panel 3’ (DPP3) framework, the company confirmed on Wednesday.

The London-listed firm said the four-year framework was divided into regional lots, and it was appointed to all five - even as a new entrant into the DPP framework.

It said the framework aimed to speed up the construction of residential and mixed-use developments on public sector land as part of the UK government's plan to increase housing provision through private sector involvement.

As part of the framework, public sector bodies - including central government and local authorities - would be able to seek advice from Interserve at the earliest stages of a project, subsequently working closely with delivery panel members to develop housing-led sites and associated infrastructure.

“Our success in winning a place on this framework highlights our ability to deliver complex projects for our customers,” said Interserve managing director Gordon Kew.

“We look forward to advising panel users from the very start of their procurement journey to help solve problems, add value and ultimately deliver quality developments that achieve both time and cost savings.”
