Submission and assessment process
How to submit an application
The Policy for Small Scale Direct Dealing with Community Housing Providers (Policy) allows registered Tier 1 and Tier 2 CHPs to submit a small scale direct dealing proposal (Proposal) to LAHC for assessment.
1. Pre-submission discussions
CHPs can contact LAHC to organise a pre-submission discussion to explore whether the proposal is likely to meet the criteria for direct dealing under the Policy.
2. Submit a Proposal
To submit a proposal under the Policy, CHPs should complete and submit a Proposal Form via the LAHC website. The form is to include:
- the proposal value,
- title, executive summary and details of the proposal,
- brief description of the CHP’s capability and capacity to deliver the proposal,
- brief description of how the proposal presents value for money for LAHC, and
- brief description of how risk is mitigated in the proposal.
3. Stage 1 Assessment and notification of outcome
LAHC will consider the proposal and determine whether the justification and eligibility criteria have been met. LAHC will notify the CHP of the outcome.
4. Negotiations
Where a proposal passes the Stage 1 Assessment, LAHC will enter into negotiations with the CHP to negotiate the terms of the proposal.
5. Stage 2 Assessment and notification of outcome
Once the negotiated proposal is finalised, LAHC will undertake a Stage 2 Assessment in accordance with the Policy and will notify the CHP of the outcome.
6. Approvals and contract award
Where a proposal passes the Stage 2 Assessment, LAHC and the CHP will arrange for their respective internal approvals and sign the relevant contract. LAHC will publish details of successful proposals on the LAHC website.
