Homes England, as part of its Evolve transformation programme has chosen global GovTech leader Civica to deliver a new cloud platform to support its complete land and property management needs.
In a new three-year contract, Homes England will implement Civica Property Management software to maintain the full estate in a safe condition, while providing efficient reporting of information on land holdings to Central Government and manage leases and occupations.
Homes England is the Government’s housing and regeneration agency, owning an estate of approx. 9,000 hectares. As part of the Homes England’s 2023 — 2028 strategic plan, its role will expand further to fully support the Government’s broader Levelling Up Agenda and be the Government’s housing and regeneration agency.
Civica will work with the organisation to ensure the integrity of data fed into the platform and to implement its off-the-shelf cloud system which will remove process bottlenecks and increase efficiency, while allowing Homes England to retire and replace some legacy systems.
Julian Chafer, Assistant Director (Estates Management) at Homes England said: “Homes England champions the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places which are brilliantly designed for the people who live there now and will in the future. Civica Property Management will help support this aim by integrating with our other systems. This will help us to see the bigger picture across our entire estate and will help deliver business value quickly and easily.”
Vipul Patel, Managing Director, Civica Property Management added: “Our capability delivers outcomes from district councils to large central government bodies. We’re delighted to be working with Homes England to support its strategic property management goals and help provide affordable, quality homes in well-designed places to improve citizen’s lives.”
