Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham procured interim strategic leadership and management consultancy support for its Housing Directorate. The work covers strengthening housing service delivery, governance, programme oversight and organisational improvement. It also supports housing asset management and investment priorities, performance management arrangements, strategic programmes and wider service objectives. This is a senior-level advisory and leadership requirement rather than a construction or routine housing maintenance contract. The procurement is classified as general management consultancy services (CPV 79411000). Delivery is associated with the London Borough of Lewisham in London, with the buyer based at Laurence House in Catford. Relevant suppliers are housing consultancy and interim leadership firms with experience of public-sector housing services, asset management, investment programmes and organisational improvement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure: a direct award call-off under the Guinness Partnership Framework for Asset and Property Management Consultancy, without a further competition. The council stated that Lumensol Ltd was the highest-ranked supplier on Lot 1 and that the framework allowed a direct award. The award was made to Lumensol Ltd on 24 April 2026, for £100,000. The associated contract is active and was signed on 24 April 2026. One bid was recorded. The evaluation information attached to the lot allocated 50 to cost. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the procurement outcome is therefore the award to Lumensol Ltd.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Lewisham for senior interim housing leadership combined with practical consultancy, rather than a narrowly defined technical study. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable experience leading or advising housing directorates, improving service delivery and governance, overseeing strategic programmes, and managing housing assets and investment priorities. Evidence of stronger performance management, organisational improvement and delivery against service objectives would be important. Suppliers should also understand public-sector housing accountability and be able to provide senior expertise through a framework-based route, including direct-award call-offs where framework rankings and terms permit. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale and capability can be delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than only a large professional-services business.
