West Yorkshire Community Engagement and Social Value: Place Based Indicators

This work on community engagement and social value fits into Homes England's Strategic Plan 2023 - 2028, specifically to one of the Agency's key performance indicators, KPI 5; measuring social value. To deliver KPI 5, Homes England's Community Engagement Team (CET) has been working on a process for implementing community engagement and delivering Social Value, this commission will complement this work.

There are four projects included in this commission of which three projects are named within the West Yorkshire Strategic Place Partnership (SPP) between Homes England and West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA). The SPP is a model for partnership working between Homes England and Combined Authority's, this partnership reflects the approach of identifying a shared ambition and creating a shared commitment to making the pipeline in agreed places more investible. The SPP provides greater clarity and focus on local priorities to which the Agency seeks to work collaboratively with partners and stakeholders to deliver regeneration projects in a place-based way. The fourth project is in Grimsby, another priority place for Homes England.

The project teams, with the support of the CET, are therefore tendering this scope of services via the DaRTS framework with the intention of commissioning a supplier to carry out the next stages of the Community Engagement and Social Value workstreams for all four projects.
