Federation has positive engagement with NIFHA
This week saw the start of a more regular programme of engagement between the Construction Employers Federation and the Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations (NIFHA).
The first of a now quarterly series of meetings saw a number of items discussed including, but not limited to:
- NIFHA’s work on a standard suite of Z Clauses for housing associations – on which we will be consulted at the end of February;
- The development of a Procurement Forum (replacing the old Procurement Board) between the construction industry, the housing associations and central government;
- How the new social clause model, buysocialNI, will be taken forward housing associations and;
- The future use of eTendersNI by housing associations
