SoJ-CMD-ITT Preparation of an Objectively Assessed Housing Need Report (OAHNR)

Tender description

The Minister for Housing (“the Minister”) requires suitably qualified and experienced consultants to prepare an objectively assessed housing need report (“OAHNR”) to inform the next Island Plan 2021-2030. The Minister published a Housing Strategy in March 2016, based on the available evidence. The strategy identified that housing supply is inconsistent, and needs to more closely match the needs of an increasing and changing population. Furthermore, housing markets are dynamic and complex and in order to support current and future policy decisions, an objectively assessed housing needs report needs to be based on a comprehensive up to date evidence base and provide evidence on current and future numbers of households in need, across all housing tenures. This will be matched against the anticipated supply, in order to provide the evidence base to support and inform future policy decisions. Keywords: housing
