Wilkinson Cowan are proud to join JV North’s £500 million Social Housing Framework

We’re delighted to share that our team has been appointed to the £500 million JV North  Social Housing Framework. This major initiative will see 3,000 new homes built across the North West over the next four years.

Our appointment marks an exciting opportunity to contribute to one of the region’s most ambitious housing programmes, working alongside a consortium of leading contractors and consultants to deliver much-needed affordable homes and thriving communities.

As part of the framework, we’ll be supporting JV North members by providing a range of specialist consultancy services, including Employer’s Agent, Purchaser’s Agent, Clerk of Works, and Principal Designer. This diverse range of services highlights the depth of expertise across our organisation and our ability to provide a truly comprehensive service – ensuring quality, safety, and value at every stage of delivery.

We’re incredibly proud that our team’s knowledge and experience will play a role in helping JV North members achieve their shared goal of building high-quality, sustainable housing for local people.

JV North Chair, John Bowker, said “Consultants and contractors play an intrinsic part in our success as a consortium, having helped us build over 10,000 homes since forming.

We are really pleased with the quality and quantity of tenders received in what is our fourth framework and would like to thank everyone who applied. Competition was fierce with lots heavily oversubscribed.

JV North is built on the strong foundation of partnership working returning better outcomes, and this is certainly the case with our framework where contractors and consultants will help us build 3,000 homes at pace to meet the growing demand for housing across the North West.”

We look forward to collaborating with JV North and our fellow framework partners to deliver lasting impact across the region, so that we can help to shape stronger, more inclusive communities through thoughtful design, collaboration, and expertise.
