Housing Association Procurement Advice

If you are a housing association or public body, there are certain matters you should consider prior to starting your procurement process in order to ensure that your procurement process is a success.

  • Forward planning
  • Type of process i.e. a single or a two-stage process
  • Selection versus award criteria
