Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham has completed their procurement process for a strategic consultancy contract within the business and management consultancy services category. This contract was awarded to Lumensol Limited to provide specialist leadership and support to the Council's Housing Directorate. This six-month contract, valued at £100,000, is aimed at facilitating stock investment, asset management, and transformation initiatives. The procurement stage is now at completion with the contract having been signed on 14 April 2026. The location for this project is within the UK's London region. The contract was procured through a direct award under extreme urgency circumstances, specifically without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy firms focusing on business and management services, particularly those with expertise in housing repairs, asset management, and operational transformation. Companies operating in related areas can benefit by aligning with frameworks such as the Guinness Partnership Framework, much like Lumensol Limited, which previously demonstrated successful interventions with the Council. This opportunity underscores the potential for small to medium-sized enterprises, especially those adept at navigating urgent and complex environments, to engage in significant public sector assignments that enhance regulatory compliance and service performance.

Notice Information

Notice Title

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. The consultancy will provide interim leadership, support mobilisation of the capital investment programme, improve asset management and procurement processes, and deliver key transformation initiatives to strengthen regulatory compliance and service performance.

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.
