Every year we will support 1 micro non-traditional contractor

We will provide support to local non-traditional contractors looking to establish themselves in the community who otherwise might not be in a position to provide services to clients. This support will equip them with the skills and business acumen needed to enable them to effectively tender and win future work.

We will also facilitate placement with our current contractors for these non-traditional contractors help build skills further and assist in ensuring a healthy order book. Through this process we will encourage the growth and recruitment of new employees into these businesses.

When the time comes for these companies to tender for Cumbria Housing Partners’ contracts we will invite them to one of our 'Meet the Customer' days where we will explain and demystify the OJEU process enabling them to successfully tender for contracts.

Every year we will help create and support 1 community enterprise

Cumbria Housing Partners is committed to providing training and employment for individuals who otherwise might not be able to gain entry into the labour market by creating and supporting community enterprises.

These community enterprises can provide the first steps to permanent employment by creating an intermediate labour market where individuals will be found work and gain the necessary skills and opportunity for future placement.

CHP is working with Social Housing Providers, government agencies and local communities to promote community enterprises and increase employment opportunities for individuals who otherwise wouldn’t be able to find employment.
