Phase 1 will provide 225 affordable homes, a new nursery, and community space, with homes to follow in Phase 2. At Pellings, we are proud to be appointed as Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors, supporting Croydon in delivering high-quality housing for its residents.

The Procurement Act 2023, which came into force yesterday, brings the biggest overhaul of public procurement in decades. With a focus on transparency, fair competition, and social value, the new rules aim to create a more accessible and accountable system. Key changes include: • A shift from MEAT to MAT, allowing greater emphasis on social and environmental impact. • Mandatory 30-day payment terms to support fairer supply chains. • Stronger performance monitoring, with KPIs required for contracts over £5m. • More SME opportunities, with large contracts expected to be broken into smaller lots. • A central digital platform to streamline the bidding process. • A requirement for consistent feedback on bids to improve transparency and learning. At Pellings, we see these reforms as a step towards better, more responsible procurement. If you'd like to discuss what this means for your projects, get in touch at submissions@pellings.co.uk. #ProcurementAct2023 #PublicSector

Last week, Andy Tang attended the Education Estates SEND Conference, where conversations focused on how thoughtful, flexible design can better support SEND learners now and in the future.    A key takeaway came from Mark Pratt, Lead DfE Design Advisor, who emphasised the importance of learning from past projects to refine school design. With demand for SEND places rising, it's essential that spaces are adaptable, allowing schools to meet evolving student needs.    Funding is also a crucial factor. The government's £740m additional SEND investment, set for local allocation this spring, will play a key role in helping schools deliver the right environments for SEND learners.
