Introduction

               This year we have had the privilege of collaborating with a number
               of credible speakers from both within and outside of the housing
               sector at PfH Live 2019.

               These speakers supported us in our quest to explore three core
               themes throughout the event; Technology, Social Value and
               Compliance. These themes remain highly relevant within the sector
               and we have decided to further explore these within this year’s
               Inside Procurement publication.

               In addition to another impactful PfH Live event, we have also
               successfully launched a series of new frameworks and DPS offerings
               over previous months. For more information on PfH’s performance,
               outcomes and outlooks click here to download our 2018 Annual
               Report.

               Our full procurement service solution is stronger than ever, delivered
               by a diverse range of frameworks, consultancy, technology and
               DPS services. We now offer an end to end solution covering the
               full spend category that is flexible, compliant and accessible for
               all our Members.

                                                                                    Steven Malone

Overall, the social housing sector has been slow to
exploit blockchain. Barriers include the high energy
consumption of the powerful computing systems
needed to operate the technology but also the
lack of adoption in the supply chain. If suppliers
aren’t using blockchain for procurement, then
there’s less incentive for a housing association to
do so. It will take a few large merchants or global
contractors to break this deadlock, implement
their own blockchain and pass it down the field
to the end user. I can see this happening around
the manufacture of building materials, through to
the construction and then asset management and
maintenance of homes.

Integration is at the heart of the future vision I set
out at the start of this piece. To fully automate
task-based purchasing, we need to link all these
technologies together rather than just using them in
isolation. That bit of the puzzle is still missing and
the sooner it is cracked, the better.

Housing Solutions:
                        Procurement Consultancy Case Study

Housing Solutions provide good quality, affordable homes to rent and buy across the South East of England.
Established in 1995 they now own, manage and maintain more than 7,500 properties across Berkshire and Hampshire.
They offer a wide range of housing options, including affordable homes to rent, properties to buy under shared ownership,
market rent properties, and specialist accommodation for older people and people who need care and support to live
within the community.

Aims and objectives

With the organisation suffering from a combination of short term appointments and unsatisfactory performance from a
procurement point of view, the newly appointed procurement resource quickly found the workload unsustainable and the
Housing Solutions Executive Team recognised that an assessment of their practices and performance was required, not
only to start delivering the benefits of a professional procurement service, but also to understand how their infrastructure
compared with best practice in the Housing Sector.

      recommendations for possible areas of improvements for greater enhancements to
      procurement processes and avenues to achieve greater value for money. PfH identified a
      number of key areas enhancements both to processes and avenues for achieving greater
      value for money, we have since continued to utilise their services to drive our programme of
      major procurement projects.

      Our lead consultant has quickly developed excellent relationships across the organisation,
      achieving buy-in and collaboration from key stakeholders. He is respected for his
      knowledge and expertise, in particular his experience within the asset management
      area of the business. Whilst always the professional, he brings a welcomed down-to-
      earth approach, demystifying procurement and as a result taking people on the journey
      throughout the process.

      With the assistance of PfH we expect to have a stronger approach to procurement
      embedded within the organisation and to substantially increasing our targeted category
      savings throughout 2019/20”.

        over worked and under supported, then how is such
        a scheme creating net positive change in people’s
        lives? Housing associations awarding such contracts
        must consider the quality, not just quantity of
        employment generated by procurement activity when
        doing their social value sums.

impact you can have on the lives of
your employees and their families
through positive workforce initiatives.

Many social housing providers
may not view the way in which they
treat employees as an indicator
of social value, yet they probably
already have lots of information to
evaluate this, as do their suppliers.
Employee engagement data about
job satisfaction levels, whether
staff members feel respected, if
they’ve received the training or the
tools they need do their job, is now
commonplace – and a good starting
point for social value improvement.

This is also about diversity and
inclusion in the workplace, the degree
to which employees are consulted or
engaged on certain issues, gender
representation and pay ratios.
Similarly, it’s about health and safety
– not just in the traditional sense of
preventing accidents on site but in
terms of proactively avoiding stress
and poor mental health amongst the
workforce.

I’d like to see more housing
associations reporting on how they
and their suppliers are using this type
of social value data to create positive
changes for people in the future. For
instance, how do figures on diversity,
workplace happiness or part-time
contracts inform how an organisation
employs people in the future? Are
you creating jobs or opportunities for
people who wouldn’t normally have
the chance?
