Summary of the contracting process

North Kesteven District Council has completed the procurement process for a Housing Needs Assessment covering the Central Lincolnshire area, including the City of Lincoln, North Kesteven, and West Lindsey. The procurement, classified under real estate services, was conducted using a limited competition method and falls below the threshold. ICENI PROJECTS LIMITED was awarded the contract, with the service period extending from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027. The contract, valued at £39,375, was signed on 3rd June 2026 and aims to provide robust evidence to inform the Local Plan and associated policies. The project location is specified as the UKF3 region in the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in housing and regional planning. As the contract provides a comprehensive assessment of housing needs, it could significantly benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) familiar with real estate and planning services. Businesses that excel in evidence-based policy development and have experience working with local governance structures would find competing in similar tenders advantageous for growth and portfolio diversification within the sector.
