There are over 4 million households in the UK’s social rented sector today, with more than half of those (2.5 million) controlled by housing associations, indicating the scale of the market in this ever-relevant sector.
Today, more than ever, procurement has a vital role to play in supporting and strengthening the social housing sector, and for all local authorities, housing associations and suppliers involved, tight control over budgets and resources remains a key priority, along with delivering on social value, sustainability and community engagement.
This free webinar, brought to you in association with Tracker in April 2024, explained the opportunities available to suppliers in the social housing sector, the requirements that buyers are looking for, and how suppliers can gain a foothold in the market or expand their presence.
With exclusive insights from John Wallace, Director of Procurement at Clarion Housing Group, this webinar will help existing and new suppliers to the housing sectors understand the procurement processes in housing, the value of frameworks and market engagement, and how they can meet buyer requirements to earn more contracts.

Through their charitable foundation Clarion Futures, Clarion provide opportunities for residents to thrive – supporting people into work, improving neighbourhoods and focusing on sustainability.
