One of the Conservative party’s main manifesto pledges before the general election was to extend the right to buy to housing association tenants in England. The pledge also included the promise to “kick start” the process within the first 100 days of a Conservative government.
The announcement to extend the right to buy was not met with applause from the housing sector as there were, and are, concerns that if proposals to extend the right to buy are rushed through with little or no proper dialogue with the housing sector this will only add to the problems.

Framework agreements are a hugely popular mechanism for sourcing goods, services and works in the public sector. The ability to access frameworks set up by other contracting authorities takes a lot of the leg work out of a procurement process and lets contracting authorities easily see what is on offer in the market.
But contracting authorities regularly come up against the same questions:
- Can we lawfully use this framework agreement?
- Do we have to use the same award criteria that was used in the establishment of the framework when we run a mini competition?

- Who is liable if the framework agreement breaches the procurement rules?
- How do we stop the same supplier winning all the lots?
