SYPA is seeking to appoint an investment manager (authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority) to work in partnership with SYPA to deliver SYPA's planned investments into domestic housing within SYPA's Place Based Impact allocation. SYPA has allocated an initial c.£75m of un-levered equity to this strategy with the objective to support the direct development of affordable, single-family housing in the geographical region of South Yorkshire through a build to rent model. SYPA aims to facilitate the building of high-quality and sustainable (as measured by an Energy Performance Certificate of A-C) private rental sector housing, with a proportion of units available to eligible tenants at a Discount to Market Rent. SYPA understands that affordability is a key concern for many, and SYPA intends to work with the investment manager to define the appropriate measures of affordability and the achievable Discount to Market Rent across the South Yorkshire region. Through this planned investment, SYPA will aim for a geographical spread of new housing across the four South Yorkshire districts of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. The partnership's objective will be to provide SYPA with sustainable long-term income and capital growth, secured against a portfolio of primarily new built private rental sector units in South Yorkshire. Once operationally stable, SYPA aims for the investment to deliver an income yield of 3-4% per annum and a target annual return of 6%. SYPA does not intend to become a registered social housing provider and/or landlord. The total SYPA allocation to this partnership is expected to grow as it is rebalanced in line with the overall pension fund as additional capital will be allocated to the partnership for investment to maintain its target weight within the overall strategic asset allocation. The value of the investment will be a minimum of £75m and could increase to up to £95m, as SYPA aims to maintain a 0.75% weighting of total assets to this mandate. SYPA does not intend the partnership vehicle to take on planning risk but intends to facilitate the development of housing through investing in a combination of forward funding or forward purchases and / or standing investments. The investment manager will oversee the facilities management and rent collection from these properties where SYPA expects to receive quarterly rental income from the properties, whilst providing institutional funding to meet the affordable housing needs within the South Yorkshire area. The sale of assets will not be prohibited, should the manager deem this to be in the interest of the partnership, however this is not the primary objective. Further details are set out in the procurement documents.

Evaluation of the Investment Ready Programme for Diverse Founders

The Contracting Authority for this Tender is SME Wholesale Finance (London) Limited (trading as Funding London), a company limited by guarantee with its registered office at 5th Floor, 330 Holborn Gate, 326-332 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7QH. Funding London was established in 2004 by the then Mayor of London with a specific long-term mandate to support the Economic Development Strategy for London through its SME funding activities. Since its inception, Funding London has supported London-based SMEs caught in the finance gap through its investment activities, and more recently through complementary business support. Our mission is to create an evergreen source of funding whereby returns from previous funds are reinvested into new funds. Therefore, the focus of our activities is not only to deliver impact through investment in growth and jobs but also to deliver the best financial returns possible by working in partnership with the private sector. In September 2023, Funding London launched the Investment Ready Programme (https://fundinglondon.co.uk/programmes). This is a free, six-week programme designed to support London based pre-seed and seed stage businesses, especially but not exclusively led by diverse founders in raising external capital, delivered in partnership with Mountside Ventures (https://www.mountsideventures.com/accelerator). The programme is the recipient of £1,065,964 from UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) managed by the Greater London Authority. We seek to appoint a firm/consultant to evaluate the Investment Ready Programme and provide insights into the programme's performance against its contractual targets. The evaluation should reflect the programme's relevance, as outlined in Annex E, which demonstrates the rationale for the project activity and its links to outputs, outcomes, and impact. It should also assess the programme's consistency, progress, and impact while evaluating value for money, delivery, and management. Bids should be submitted to [email protected] by 4pm 28 February 2025. Please visit the attached ITT for a full tender process description including background and context, scope of work, timeframe and delivery, budget, selection criteria, further conditions applicable to the tender process, contractual agreement, and draft agreement. Annex E attached demonstrates the rationale for the project activity and its links to outputs, outcomes, and impact.
