Summary of the contracting process

Salix Homes Limited commissioned construction consultancy services for new development sites in the North West of England. The appointed consultant is responsible for design services alongside acting as Employers Agent and providing project management. The requirement covers both construction consultancy and construction management, with the work supporting Salix Homes’ development programme. It is a professional services opportunity for firms able to coordinate design, oversee delivery on the client’s behalf and manage projects through their development and construction stages. The procurement is relevant to consultancies with experience of working for housing providers or other clients delivering new development sites, particularly those that can combine technical design capability with Employers Agent and project management services across multiple projects or workstreams.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Identity Consult Ltd on 7 August 2026. The award value is £230,000, with the contract running from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028. The requirement had an estimated value between £213,000 and £230,000. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The buying organisation is Salix Homes Limited. The award followed a completed competitive process for services, and Identity Consult Ltd is the selected supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There was one requirement covering the consultancy services for new development sites in the North West.

This award indicates that Salix Homes uses a framework call-off to appoint an SME-capable consultancy combining design, Employers Agent and project management expertise for new development sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an integrated service rather than a single-discipline design offer: the ability to develop and coordinate designs, represent the client as Employers Agent and manage project delivery. Relevant experience in construction consultancy and construction management will help demonstrate that the firm can control interfaces between designers, contractors and the housing client. Firms should also be able to show sufficient capacity to deliver these functions together across a development programme, with robust project controls, coordination and client reporting.
