Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham commissioned strategic business and management consultancy for its Housing Directorate, covering stock investment, asset management, and quality and investment transformation. The six-month service was intended to provide interim strategic leadership during organisational change, maintain delivery of the housing capital programme, support mobilisation of capital investment, improve asset management and procurement processes, and deliver transformation initiatives. The work also supports regulatory compliance and service performance, including housing improvement and repairs-related priorities. Delivery is centred on Lewisham, London, for the Council’s housing functions. This is a specialist housing consultancy requirement rather than a general management consultancy assignment, with relevance for firms experienced in public-sector housing investment, asset management, repairs, commercial processes and operational transformation.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Lewisham used a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition, relying on extreme urgency and an approved asset and property management consultancy framework. The Council cited regulatory compliance risks, delays to the stock investment programme and the imminent departure of senior officers. Lumensol Limited was selected as supplier, with the contract signed on 14 April 2026. The contract value is £100,000 excluding any unstated tax treatment, and the planned contract duration is six months. Evaluation information recorded cost as a 50% criterion. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. One bid was recorded. The procurement’s sole lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need senior housing-sector consultants able to step into interim leadership and stabilise delivery during organisational change. Relevant capability includes managing housing capital investment programmes, stock investment planning, asset management, housing repairs, procurement and commercial processes, and transformation across quality and investment functions. Experience of improving regulatory compliance and measurable service performance would be particularly important, as would the capacity to mobilise quickly when delivery risks or leadership gaps arise. The award also indicates that prior successful work for the Council and access to an approved asset and property management consultancy framework can be commercially significant. An SME with a focused housing improvement offer could compete effectively if it can demonstrate comparable public-sector outcomes, specialist leadership and rapid mobilisation.

Strategic Consultancy Support for Stock Investment, Asset Management and Quality & Investment Transformation

Notice Description

Lewisham Council has awarded a six-month contract for the provision of strategic consultancy services to support the Housing Directorate's Stock Investment, Asset Management and Quality & Investment functions.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract is for the provision of strategic consultancy services to support the Council's Housing Directorate with Stock Investment, Asset Management and Quality & Investment transformation. The consultancy will provide interim strategic leadership to maintain delivery of the housing capital programme during a period of organisational change.

Procurement Information

The direct award to Lumensol Limited was justified due to the urgent and exceptional circumstances facing the Housing Directorate, including the need to address regulatory compliance risks, delays in the stock investment programme, and the imminent departure of key senior officers responsible for delivery. The Council identified an immediate requirement for specialist strategic leadership support to maintain momentum and improve delivery of housing improvement, asset management and transformation priorities. Lumensol Limited was selected as an approved supplier under the Guinness Partnership Framework (Asset and Property Management Consultancy Framework), which permits direct awards where framework criteria are met. The supplier had previously delivered successful improvement interventions for the Council, demonstrating relevant expertise in housing repairs, asset management, commercial processes and operational transformation. A direct award for a time-limited six-month contract was therefore considered the most effective and proportionate approach to secure urgent specialist support, mitigate delivery risks, achieve regulatory outcomes and provide value for money.
