On 4 November 2019 the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government published an Invitation to Tender asking for bids to operate a new £3 billion Affordable Homes Guarantee Scheme. The Invitation to Tender closed on 3 February and the Department is currently reviewing bids. The scheme would be open to Private Registered Providers of affordable housing and provide guaranteed debt finance to support the delivery of new, additional affordable homes, including for rent and ownership.
