UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council commissioned professional consultancy services to develop an evidence-based Supported Housing Strategy and Licensing Scheme. The work covers assessing local supported housing needs, analysing relevant data, engaging stakeholders, drafting the strategy and licensing scheme, consulting on the drafts, and finalising both documents in line with statutory guidance. The requirement is focused on supported housing policy, licensing, research and public-sector strategy development, rather than construction, property maintenance or housing management operations. The named buying organisation is Wokingham Borough Council, based in Wokingham. The procurement is classified as business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000), with delivery identified in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. One lot was completed. Housing LIN Enterprises Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an award recorded as active. The award date is not provided, while the contract was signed on 8 July 2026. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £38,000 excluding VAT and £45,600 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The published process describes the requirement and statutory-guidance context, but does not set out award criteria, weightings or supplier eligibility requirements. This is a single-supplier award for the full requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a district-level local authority for specialist supported housing strategy and licensing consultancy. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would combine supported housing policy expertise with the ability to carry out needs assessments, analyse housing and service data, and translate evidence into practical licensing and strategy documents. Credible competitors would also need experience of structured stakeholder engagement and public consultation, including incorporating feedback into draft and final outputs. Familiarity with statutory guidance and local-government decision-making would be important, as would the capacity to manage a complete assignment from research and analysis through drafting, consultation and finalisation. Organisations offering housing consultancy, commissioning support, licensing advice or evidence-led public-sector strategy development would be the closest fit when this requirement next reaches the market.
