ITP for Public Housing Strategic Partner Panel

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development seeks applications from suitably qualified providers to join a Public Housing Strategic Partner Panel.

As community housing providers (CHPs) registered by the Community Housing Regulatory Authority (CHRA), all Panel providers will have previously satisfied the Ministry that, from an organisational perspective, they are well governed, remain viable, and deliver appropriate housing services to their client group.

Previously, Public Housing was purchased in one-off procurements. This new procurement approach includes a two-stage gateway process: the provider first opts-in to the Panel through submitting an Application under this ITP (Gateway 1), and then project-specific funding proposals submitted by Panel providers are assessed in a secondary procurement process (Gateway 2). This process builds on the work conducted by CHRA and focuses on each organisation's capability and capacity to deliver new public housing supply under the Ministry's contract settings.

This new approach is designed to establish a broad base of supply capability and capacity. Being part of the Panel will enable providers to make a vital contribution to increasing the housing supply and providing housing for some of our most vulnerable New Zealanders.
