Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves the Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Limited, based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. It is in the planning stage for the "CHIC Asset Compliance & Assurance Framework 2026-30," which is set to commence on August 3, 2026, and conclude on August 1, 2030. This framework focuses on environmental and site audits, including risk assessments and contractor assurance audits within the UK, aiming to comply with legislative standards and member policies. The procurement method is initiated through a tender process with a significant estimated value of £220 million, addressing services categorised under environmental quality control and various auditing services. The process includes a framework agreement, and a future notice is expected by April 30, 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in compliance services related to asbestos management, gas safety, electrical safety, fire safety, and water hygiene. Businesses with expertise in environmental auditing and abatement services will find this procurement particularly attractive. Organisations that are well-versed in the requirements of Registered Social Landlords and the Housing Regulator’s standards will be best suited to compete, as the framework's scope aligns closely with such expertise. Engaging in this process allows businesses to expand their portfolios and strengthen their positions in the environmental and compliance sectors, leveraging the consortium's focus on high professional standards and comprehensive management controls.
