Summary of the contracting process

The Ability Housing Association has recently completed its tender process for internal audit services, which has been awarded under the Open procedure method. The procurement, managed by Procurement For Housing, was classified under the industry category of "Accounting and auditing services" (CPV code 79210000). The contract for these services will commence on 1st October 2025 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2028. While Ability Housing is based in London and the South East, the delivery addresses for the service coverage include broader locations such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and even the British Overseas Territories. The procurement stage is in the 'award' phase as of 22nd August 2025, with Tiaa Ltd being the awarded supplier.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in financial and auditing services. Companies with a keen focus on social housing audits and experience in working within the public sector stand to gain from engaging in similar procurements. Although the contract period spans three years, the evolving needs of the Association's clientele could result in further potential collaborations. The contract is especially relevant for organisations that can provide bespoke audit services tailored to the unique demands of housing associations and charities, such as those offered by Ability Housing.
