Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured employers’ agent services for its Fleet and Thorntree requirement. The work falls within construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000) and is delivered in the North East of England. An employers’ agent typically provides professional oversight and coordination for construction projects, although the published scope identifies the requirement only as “Fleet & Thorntree - Employers Agents”. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction works contract. The buyer is based at 2 Hudson Quay in Middlesbrough, and the requirement is relevant to construction consultants and firms providing employers’ agent support for housing or related development activity in the North East.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award from an approved panel, rather than an open competition. The response deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Elliott Associates on 26 August 2026 for £24,982.25 including the stated GBP currency, covering the period from 26 August 2026 to 31 October 2029. The award was active when recorded. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was evaluated through the approved-panel direct-award route. Elliott Associates, a Gateshead-based SME, is the selected supplier. The published procurement does not identify separate lots or additional award criteria.

This award shows that Thirteen Housing Group uses an approved-panel direct-award route for employers’ agent support linked to its Fleet and Thorntree requirement. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need access to the relevant approved panel and the ability to deliver construction consultancy services as an employers’ agent. A credible competitor would be a suitably established construction consultancy, including an SME, with the professional capability to oversee and coordinate housing or development projects in the North East. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist practice rather than only by a large national consultancy. Firms should focus on demonstrable employers’ agent expertise and panel eligibility for similar future requirements.
