Summary of the contracting process

Wealden District Council has completed the procurement process for the "WDC Housing Health Check," focusing on assessing their housing landlord service. This process, initiated as a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, falls under the services category and relates primarily to performance review services. The awarded contract commenced on 5th January 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th March 2026, with a potential extension leading up to 30th June 2026, located within the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Hailsham at Wealden. The award was granted on 23rd January 2026, marking the contract active, with INNER CIRCLE CONSULTING LIMITED selected as the supplier.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in housing service reviews and consultations, particularly those with experience working with public authorities. It highlights the growing demand for service efficiency and efficacy examinations in the public housing sector. Firms that can provide insightful performance reviews and have the capacity for follow-up support or additional recommendations are particularly well-suited for such opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises like INNER CIRCLE CONSULTING LIMITED, which was awarded this contract, demonstrate that smaller firms can successfully compete in public procurement, especially given the absence of a competitive tendering stage here.
