Key to a successful OPE Application

• It should involve a range of

public bodies

• It will deliver 1 or more of our

core priorities (growth, efficiencies or customer focused services)

• It have strong governance

arrangements, which drive delivery

• Project management is key to

success

• Delivery will be within 5 years

(more strategic projects 10 years)

• It will be ambitious but credible
• It will be driven by local priorities
• r support government with its

land release agenda

• It will be strategic, or involve a

large single site opportunity

• Existing partnerships should be

able to demonstrate successful delivery to date.

Common Themes Across OPE

• Working across wider city deals, Devolution, LEP, combined

authority areas

• LEPs are a key partner
• Looking to access health land for large housing opportunities
• Area-wide health and social care integration
• Community hubs on a county-wide scale
• Co-ordinated approaches to using public assets to regenerate

town centres

• DWP co-locations
• Solutions for surplus central government property and land (e.g.

MOJ)

Repayable Grants - Pilot

• The pilot will look to offer

repayable grants up to £500,000 to four or five OPE partnerships

• Interest free, fully repayable by a

pre-agreed number of years (three years is likely)

• Any funding asks for repayable

grants will need to show they produce additional or accelerated outputs We will consider providing a repayable grant for the following activities:

• feasibility and master planning
• site remediation
• planning
• valuation
• other funded works outside

programme capacity building activity
