Is collaborative contracting the key to transforming regeneration? 

Local government is being asked to deliver at a scale and pace not seen in decades — but without the right delivery frameworks, progress will stall. 

Councils sit at the heart of the Government’s growth agenda, tasked with delivering ambitious housing targets alongside complex regeneration and infrastructure programmes. Yet while expectations continue to rise, the tools, capacity and frameworks available to local authorities have not always kept pace.

Drawing on expert insights from NEC4 Contracts Board members and industry leaders, alongside real-world perspectives from across the sector, the guide highlights practical approaches you can take.
