About Spirit
As one of the leading partnerships of its kind in the UK, we aim to make a real difference to our customers’ lives. Our partnership has changed the way we procure and develop housing in the North East, Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

Our aim is to raise the level of social housing standards by providing more and better quality homes at less cost to the public purse. We will do this by increasing our combined effectiveness, becoming more efficient, adopting modern and innovative construction methods and sharing our knowledge and expertise.

Spirit offers a number of benefits to the social housing community, its partners and suppliers.



Spirit partners share these common benefits:
· predictability and stability of longer term contracts
· joint experience and expertise in specialised areas
· increased buying power for small and medium sized organisations which may otherwise be competing with larger organisations.


Spirit enables the social housing community to:
· take a more strategic and value-added approach to local housing investment
· negotiate better savings in procurement
· achieve lower development costs
· gain better project efficiencies
. realise greater control over cost and quality of products
· select and manage sub-contractors and material suppliers directly.
