Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living procured services covering quality assurance, asset management and third-party audits. The requirement falls within technical inspection and testing services and is intended to support the organisation’s assurance of assets and related activities. Delivery covers the South East of England, with the buying organisation based in Milton Keynes. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of independent technical inspection, testing, quality assurance, asset management and audit services, particularly those able to operate across the South East and support a housing organisation’s assets and assurance processes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process. Bids were due by 2 March 2026. Amplius Living awarded the contract to Morgan Lambert on 25 March 2026 for £2,100,000 including the stated contract value. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030. The procurement used the tender route, with the main category being services. The award is active and covers the full requirement for quality assurance, asset management and third-party audits. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a requirement of a scale and structure suited to a larger established provider.

This award provides a clear example of Amplius Living’s demand for combined quality assurance, asset management and independent third-party audit capability. A competitor seeking comparable work would need to bring these disciplines together rather than offering a single inspection service. Relevant strengths would include technical inspection and testing expertise, robust quality assurance methods, asset information and management capability, and the independence needed to conduct credible third-party audits. The requirement also points to the importance of delivering consistently across the South East for a housing organisation, with sufficient organisational capacity to manage a substantial, multi-year service. A larger established supplier profile appears best aligned with the buyer’s approach.
