Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured specialist NEC Housing consultancy services for its Housing Digital Workstream, specifically the NEC Continuous Improvement project. This is a professional IT consultancy service, covering specialist advice and support rather than the supply of hardware or software. The work is associated with housing service improvement and digital change, and is delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is therefore most relevant to consultancies with experience in NEC Housing and in supporting public-sector housing organisations through digital workstreams and continuous-improvement activity.

The procurement has been awarded following a direct award. Sheffield City Council selected Gravitas Recruitment Group Limited on 29 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £29,313 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 April 2027. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for IT consulting, software development, internet and support. It was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and relates to one requirement covering the Housing Digital Workstream and NEC Continuous Improvement project.

This award demonstrates demand from Sheffield City Council for specialist NEC Housing consultancy supporting a digital workstream and continuous improvement. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in NEC Housing, consultancy capability, and the ability to support a council’s housing-related digital change programme. Experience of delivering structured improvement work for public-sector housing clients would help demonstrate relevance, alongside sufficient professional capacity to provide specialist advice and support across the requirement. The direct-award route indicates that understanding the council’s specific NEC Housing need and being recognised as a suitable specialist provider are commercially important. The opportunity is better suited to established specialist consultancies than to general IT service providers.
