" Impart links  were appointed by Solihull Community Housing in 2003, to assist in the introduction and development of a partnering and collaborative approach to the procurement of our Decent Homes programme. Their input throughout the procurement and subsequent delivery process has been invaluable and they are currently advising and helping us develop a Strategic Alliance with our partners as well as providing an ongoing open book cost management service.
