The majority of Council’s choose to work with a Developer and a Housing Association. Some decide to go it alone. Where there is a development partner, Council’s will normally undertake a procurement process where tenders are submitted. The more restrictive the tender process is, the less attractive the proposition will be to developers. Developers will of course have their own preferences for what the scheme would look like. A Housing Association is often appointed as well to manage the letting or sales of any affordable housing element.
