Published risks
The Framework may experience an increase in service volumes as a result of housing stock currently managed by Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH), an Arms-Length Management Organisation (ALMO) acting on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC), being brought back in-house by WNC. This change is expected to take effect from April 2027. Bidders should therefore take into account the potential for increased demand and service volumes over the duration of the Framework. This increase in demand may lead to an increase in the overall contract value over the term of the Framework subject to internal approval of additional funding.
