Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham procured specialist procurement and commercial consultancy services for its housing investment and asset management programmes. The work covers procurement planning, developing specifications, managing tenders, supporting evaluation and progressing contract awards. It is procurement consultancy rather than the delivery of construction, housing repairs or asset-management works themselves. Delivery is associated with London Borough of Lewisham, in London, with the buyer based in Catford. The requirement was intended to provide expert commercial support across the council’s housing-related investment activity. The selected provider, Lumensol Ltd, is an SME based in Buckinghamshire, indicating that the work could be delivered by a specialist consultancy operating beyond the immediate borough, subject to the council’s requirements and working arrangements.

This procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Lewisham used a limited procedure: a direct-award call-off under the Guinness Partnership Framework for Asset and Property Management Consultancy, without a further competition. Lumensol Ltd was selected as the highest-ranked supplier on the relevant framework lot, with one bid recorded. The contract is valued at £100,000 including the stated currency of GBP and was signed on 20 July 2026. The recorded evaluation basis allocated 50 to cost. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the source gives no cancellation reason or separate cancellation date. No contract end date or duration is stated.

For a consultancy preparing for a future requirement of this kind, the award demonstrates demand from Lewisham for end-to-end procurement and commercial support focused on housing investment and asset management. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in procurement strategy and planning, translating operational needs into clear specifications, running tender exercises, supporting compliant evaluation and advising through contract award. Experience of public-sector procurement and the ability to work within framework arrangements would be particularly relevant, because this purchase was made through a direct-award framework route rather than an open competition. The selected supplier’s SME status also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy, rather than only by a large professional-services firm. Relevant evidence would include comparable housing or asset-management assignments, strong commercial judgement and reliable support for council officers.
