UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned consultancy services for its Council Housing Growth Team, focused on the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) business plan. The requirement is a short, specialist advisory assignment supporting the council’s planning for housing growth and its associated HRA activity. The work falls within procurement consultancy services. Delivery is for Leeds City Council and its council housing growth function in Leeds. The appointed provider is Savills (UK) Limited, a large supplier. This opportunity is therefore relevant to firms providing public-sector consultancy on housing strategy, council housing growth, Housing Revenue Account planning or related procurement and business-plan advice. Suppliers whose work is limited to general goods, construction delivery or unrelated consultancy would be less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Savills (UK) Limited without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award was active and related to a single completed requirement. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026, began on 27 July 2026 and ends on 29 September 2026, giving a three-month consultancy period. The awarded contract value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. Savills was the sole awarded supplier. The published information identifies procurement consultancy services as the classification of the awarded work. The process was not divided into competing lots: its single lot was completed. No scored evaluation criteria are recorded; the route was a direct award below the applicable threshold rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates a defined need within Leeds for specialist advice linking council housing growth with HRA business planning. A credible future competitor would need to understand local-authority housing finance and the practical requirements of expanding or managing a council housing programme, while being able to turn that knowledge into clear business-plan consultancy. Relevant experience in public-sector advisory work, housing strategy, financial planning and procurement consultancy would help establish capability. The requirement was delivered by a large supplier, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider able to supply experienced consultants for a focused assignment. Firms tracking Leeds housing, HRA and housing-growth work can use this requirement to assess whether they have the sector expertise, senior capacity and concise advisory delivery model needed for similar council commissions.
