Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton has concluded an open procurement process for developing a Supported Housing Strategy, in compliance with the Housing Act 2003 and the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. The focus is on business and management consultancy services, specifically within the supported housing sector. The assigned contract, valued at GBP 50,000, begins on 1st June 2026 and runs until 1st November 2026. The procurement was completed on 11th May 2026, with the award made on 21st May 2026 to Private Public Ltd, a company based in England. The project is part of a statutory obligation to shape housing provision in Sutton and engage local partners and stakeholders. The procurement stage has been tagged as ‘award’, indicating the process is in its conclusive phase.

This tender presents a valuable business growth opportunity, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in housing consultancy and strategy development. The open procurement method ensures accessibility for a wide range of firms capable of delivering comprehensive housing needs assessments, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement. As the project involves creating a delivery plan for supported housing, companies with a background in housing policy development and community services would find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this public project can enhance the service portfolio and establish a foothold in public sector consultancy.
