Summary of the contracting process

Ceredigion County Council commissioned consultancy to rewrite its Local Housing Market Assessment, which provides the evidence base for understanding local housing need and the housing market. The work covers demographic analysis, housing modelling and use of the Welsh Government’s LHMA Tool. The consultant is required to work with Council officers, incorporate feedback from consultation rounds and produce the final assessment for statutory submission. Delivery is in Ceredigion, Wales. This is a focused housing research and analysis assignment rather than a general housing support service: it concerns the full replacement of the Council’s existing assessment and combines technical modelling with consultation and collaborative work with the authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Opinion Research Services Limited. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 14 October 2026; its recorded value is £31,175. The procurement used a further competition under Lot 8e of ESPO’s Consultancy Services framework, using a selective restricted procedure. The tender deadline was amended to 1 October 2024, and the bid validity period was 360 days. Evaluation was weighted towards price, which accounted for 70% of the criteria, with technical quality accounting for 30%. The council reserved the right to buy further similar services from the supplier on the same terms during the contract, including agreed extensions, and to award similar work to the existing supplier within five years after contract expiry or any extension.

For housing-market and public-sector research consultancies, this award demonstrates a specific demand from Ceredigion County Council for an end-to-end local housing market assessment, not simply general housing advice. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience in demographic analysis and housing modelling, and practical expertise applying the Welsh Government’s LHMA Tool. The delivery approach also needs to support close collaboration with council officers, manage consultation feedback and turn analysis into a final assessment suitable for statutory submission. This requirement sits within the housing and housing-support consultancy market, where relevant wider expertise can include housing needs assessments, benchmarking, quality assurance and service performance. Providers able to combine robust quantitative analysis with stakeholder engagement and clear, submission-ready reporting are best aligned with the work evidenced by this award.
