Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council is seeking a management agent to provide a full housing management service for six council-owned homes that are currently tenanted. The work is administrative housing services: managing occupied social housing on the council’s behalf. The properties are in the North West of England. The council’s detailed service requirements are set out in Appendix A, the specification included with the tender documents. Suppliers should assess that specification to understand the full service scope and the day-to-day responsibilities involved. The buyer is Liverpool City Council, based in Liverpool.

The council invited offers through an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime, using the flexibilities of the Procurement Act 2023. This procurement reached the tender stage. Bids were due by 12 noon on 18 November 2026. The planned contract period runs from 18 January 2027 to 17 January 2030. The estimated contract value is £120,000. The procurement is for a single service requirement covering six properties; no lots are described. The data identifies no specific evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids are assessed is not stated here. The procurement is described as below threshold.

This opportunity suits housing management agents able to take responsibility for the full management of a small portfolio of occupied council homes. Suppliers will need the operational capability to manage tenanted properties and deliver an ongoing housing management service for a public-sector landlord. The scale is focused on six existing homes rather than a large new-build or property acquisition programme. The council marks the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and social-purpose organisations may be well placed to compete. The detailed specification should be used to check the required service tasks and demonstrate relevant housing management experience and capacity.
