UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hafod Housing Association is procuring legal services to support its housing, assets and wider support activities. The requirement covers Hafod’s operations across eight Welsh local authority areas: Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil, Torfaen and Newport. This is a services contract for legal advice and related support to the association’s work across these locations. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service packages. It will suit legal practices with relevant experience of advising housing associations, particularly across housing management, property and assets, and support-related matters. Hafod Housing Association is the buying organisation.

The procurement reached tender: Hafod Housing Association invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 11 August 2026 at 12:00 noon, and the deadline for tenders was 18 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with options to extend for two further periods of two years, to 30 September 2033. The estimated value is £690,728.50 excluding VAT, or £828,874.20 including VAT. Quality carries 60% of the evaluation weighting and price 40%. Economic and technical selection criteria apply. Electronic submission is allowed, and tenders must be submitted in English. The stated award decision date is 18 September 2026.

This opportunity suits legal services firms able to advise a housing association across housing, assets and support requirements. Relevant providers should be prepared to demonstrate both economic and technical suitability through the tender requirements and supporting documents. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price, so firms with a strong, clearly evidenced service approach will be well placed to compete. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to practices and organisations of those types. Firms should assess their capacity to support work across eight Welsh local authority areas and to deliver the required service over the initial three-year term, with possible extensions.
