    Summary

    Forming a consortium can be an effective way to deliver the objectives of a retrofit project. By collaborating with partners and pooling resources, you can potentially benefit from economies of scale and more diverse skills and opinions, compared to developing projects as a single organisation.

    This toolkit provides considerations for forming a consortium and presents and explains the different options available to help you decide whether the consortium route might be suitable for your retrofit project.

    Who should use the toolkit?

    The toolkit provides guidance to social housing providers who are considering leading or entering a consortium to deliver a retrofit project. The intended audience is those individuals and teams who are engaged in the design and development of social housing retrofit programmes.

    The organisations they represent may not have all the in-house skills, influence, or the project size to bid for funding, and / or deliver these programmes, as a single organisation. These tend to be small organisations; however, the toolkit could also be useful to larger organisations who are looking to develop area-based schemes, supporting smaller providers with their retrofit ambitions.

    When should you use the toolkit?

    This toolkit should be used when an organisation starts to think about bidding for and / or delivering a retrofit programme and is considering whether joining forces with other social housing providers is a good idea.
