Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CA) is currently seeking to award a consultancy contract for the delivery of their Affordable Housing Combined Authority Delivery Arrangements. This important procurement process is in the Planning stage, with the tender period set to conclude on 28 April 2017. The programme aims to utilise £100 million to develop 2,000 affordable homes across the region, with an additional £70 million allocated specifically for the city of Cambridge. The services required include consultancy in management, evaluation, and financial support for the housing developments, with the contract scheduled to commence on 15 May 2017 and run until 30 September 2017. The geographical focus is on East of England, specifically within the Cambridgeshire area.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in management consultancy, financial consultancy, and evaluation services. Companies that specialise in providing advisory services for public sector housing developments would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative not only supports the growth of the affordable housing sector but also encourages small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to demonstrate their capabilities in providing governance and operational frameworks, which are critical to the successful launch and management of such substantial public investments.
