Since the Grenfell Tower Inquiry launched in June 2017, local authorities have found themselves under immense pressures to improve safety standards across high-risk public housing and introduce new rigorous risk assessment methods for all new building projects.
A building risk review programme for all high-rise residential buildings in England has been advised to be completed no later than December 2021. This has been supported by £10 million in government funding.
Having worked with some of the largest housing associations in the UK, Bloom understands the current pressures faced by the sector. Our procurement solution allows overstretched teams to focus on strategic issues, adding more benefit to their association as a result.
Through our digital platform, Pro-vide 2.0, we fully manage all aspects of the procurement process through direct award or mini-competition using our unique framework, NEPRO³. Through this fast and fully compliant service, Bloom can alleviate some of the pressure of the looming deadline for local authorities by taking you from first contact to professional services on-site in as little as 13 days.
All outcomes, project deliverables and milestones are defined at the outset, with fixed pricing and a clear invoicing process, delivering complete transparency throughout the whole project lifecycle.
NEPRO³ also opens up the market to smaller SMEs and VCSEs, allowing you to select local suppliers to deliver your project and harness the finest talent from across the public, private and voluntary sectors to ensure social value is delivered in the local area.
The 2017 Grenfell Tower fire is today considered one of the UK’s worst man-made disasters since World War II. In this blog, we discuss the recommendations of the Hackitt report and draft Building Safety Bill, and how public sector bodies can make necessary preparations ahead of the bill’s expected publication.
