Concerned for the prospects of small providers under the new statutory funding environment, the London Housing Foundation asked Alan Cripps of Neadon Consulting to investigate the effects so far and expectations for the future.
Alan found that although the impact up to now has been relatively small, there are significant concerns for the future as small providers are likely to face a competitive disadvantage in bidding for new SP contracts. Although subcontracting and consortia bids provide opportunities, the additional costs involved will act against this. Small providers, therefore, will need to demonstrate advantages arising from localisation and/or specialisation in order to thrive.
