HUB’s Integrated Supply Chain

HUB Communities Charitable Trust delivers innovative, sustainable and measurable housing affordability – nationally, and at scale.

The HUB achieves its goals and objectives by amalgamating a range of tried and tested collaborative partnering techniques within a framework of an integrated supply chain. The structure of The HUB allows the alliance partners to provide effective supply chain integration without the financial burden inherent in other procurement routes such as Private Finance Initiative.

HUB’s not-for- profit community development and affordable housing integrated supply chain includes:

Professional property and design consultants

Building contractors

Material suppliers

Social enterprise organisations

Funders

The supply chain offers a design, build, fund, manage and operate procurement methodology that has the capability to operate at the national level, provides a platform that offers an environment to drives out needless costs, and waste, reduces project delivery timescales and enhances occupational and maintenance cost profiles to deliver measurable affordability.

Whole Life Cost Management

Costs plans and expenditure cash flows that inform IRR development appraisals are prepared on a whole life cost basis. Whole Life Costs are based on the HUB design standard grids, window and door schedules and designs and specifications.

 

SROI

In addition to achieving the required financial returns to lever private sector investment best value is considered within the wider context of wellness outcomes associated with living in quality homes and supportive communities.

Social benefits are modelled by adopting a Benefits Realization and Management structure.

Innovative & Measurable Housing Affordability

Structured to act as the catalyst to bring together principals, funders and long-term partners for public sector bodies tasked with meeting Government social housing targets, HUB capitalises on economies of scale and leverages the optimum scale of production to achieve pre-agreed and measureable affordability. These attributes inform every choice in the design of HUB’s supply chain; from housing design and specifications to manufacturing and construction methodologies.
