Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured an annual subscription supplement supporting its Home Improvement Loan Programme. This is a subscription service rather than construction, lending or property improvement works themselves. The service is delivered for Somerset Council and relates to its home improvement loan activity in Somerset, within the United Kingdom. The council is a sub-central public authority based in Taunton. The selected supplier, LENDOLOGY CIC, is a community interest company and small or medium-sized enterprise based in Taunton. The requirement is focused on maintaining or supplementing an established loan programme through an annual subscription arrangement, making it relevant to organisations that provide specialist subscription-based support to local authority housing, property improvement or lending schemes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. LENDOLOGY CIC was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £31,311 excluding VAT and £37,573 including VAT. The contract is active. The evaluation basis was therefore the council’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender. The award covers subscription services supporting the Home Improvement Loan Programme. This outcome indicates a one-year annual subscription arrangement with LENDOLOGY CIC as the appointed supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Somerset Council for specialist subscription support connected with a local authority Home Improvement Loan Programme. A credible future competitor would need to provide a reliable annual service that supports the council’s loan-programme objectives, understand the operational requirements of home improvement finance, and work effectively with a public-sector client. Experience serving councils, housing or property improvement programmes, or comparable lending-related services would help demonstrate relevance. Suppliers should also be able to operate an ongoing subscription arrangement and maintain dependable service throughout the contract period. LENDOLOGY CIC’s status as an SME and community interest company shows that this type of requirement can suit smaller purpose-led organisations, as well as larger specialist providers.
