UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned professional services covering a supported housing needs assessment and a supported living strategy. The work concerns understanding housing and accommodation needs, particularly for people requiring supported living, and using that assessment to inform the Council’s strategic approach. It sits across administrative housing services, administrative social services and accommodation services, with CPV classifications 75123000, 85321000 and 98341000. The requirement is for the Council of the City of Wakefield and relates to service delivery in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Wakefield. This is a strategy and advisory assignment rather than a construction, property maintenance or direct accommodation-supply contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the published method detail is recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Inner Circle Consulting Limited on 14 July 2026. The award value is £76,000 excluding VAT and £91,200 including VAT. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded supplier is an SME. The award is active and a signature milestone was scheduled for 16 July 2026. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement, and the outcome identifies Inner Circle Consulting Limited as the selected supplier. No separate award split between suppliers or lots applies.

This outcome indicates demand for specialist consultancy able to assess supported housing needs and turn evidence into a supported living strategy for a local authority. A credible future competitor would need experience in housing needs assessment, supported housing, supported living and accommodation services, together with the ability to analyse social care and housing requirements and produce a practical public-sector strategy. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that delivery at this scale can be undertaken by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large national provider. Relevant firms should be able to work with council stakeholders, understand local authority service planning, interpret evidence about people needing support, and present recommendations that can guide commissioning and future housing provision.
