Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow commissioned specialist asset management strategy consultancy services for its social housing portfolio of approximately 4,800 dwellings, including 17 sheltered housing schemes. The work covers a review of existing asset management arrangements against the council’s corporate objectives, resident priorities and regulatory requirements. The required outcome is a comprehensive Asset Management Strategy and implementation roadmap to support management, maintenance, compliance and investment decisions for the housing assets. The scope includes stock investment needs, compliance obligations, building safety, Decent Homes Standard compliance, asset performance, sustainability and energy efficiency, resident engagement, governance and long-term financial planning. Relevant legislation and regulation includes the Building Safety Act 2022, Awaab’s Law and the Regulator of Social Housing Consumer Standards. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. ARK CONSULTANCY LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026, with a contract period from 16 July 2026 to 28 February 2027. The contract value is £37,406.25 excluding VAT, or £44,887.50 including VAT. The procurement is for services and is classified as development consultancy services. The selected supplier is an SME. The published outcome records the commission as a single requirement rather than dividing it between multiple suppliers or lots. The award concerns the development of Harrow’s asset management strategy and its implementation roadmap for the council’s housing assets.

For a consultancy competing for comparable work, this award demonstrates demand from Harrow for specialist housing asset management advice combining strategic review with practical implementation planning. A credible supplier would need experience of social housing asset portfolios, stock condition and investment planning, compliance management, building safety and Decent Homes requirements. It would also need to understand sustainability and energy efficiency programmes, long-term financial planning, governance and resident engagement. Knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, Awaab’s Law, the Regulator of Social Housing Consumer Standards and related housing regulation would be important. The requirement favours a team able to turn technical and regulatory assessment into a clear, deliverable strategy covering thousands of dwellings and sheltered housing, with an evidence-based roadmap for future maintenance, compliance and investment decisions.
