Summary of the contracting process

Homes in Somerset Limited commissioned a void performance and improvement review. The work is a professional building consultancy service focused on examining how vacant properties are managed and identifying improvements to void performance. Delivery is for Homes in Somerset Limited in Somerset, within the buyer’s operating area. The requirement is relevant to consultancies that review housing operations, property turnaround, repairs interfaces or related building-management performance, particularly where they can assess current processes and recommend practical improvements. The buyer is a public authority based in Bridgwater. The selected service is classified as building consultancy, so firms with a housing, property or building consultancy offer are the closest commercial fit. The procurement covered one service requirement rather than a group of separately described work packages.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ARK Consultancy Limited, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026, runs from 14 April 2026 to 31 August 2026, and is active. Its value is £37,850 excluding VAT, or £45,420 including VAT. The award relates to the single completed requirement for the void performance and improvement review. The recorded outcome shows that Homes in Somerset Limited selected a supplier through a limited competitive route for a short, defined consultancy engagement. The contract is below the applicable threshold. ARK Consultancy Limited is the only supplier recorded for the award, and the work is associated with building consultancy services delivered in Somerset.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Homes in Somerset Limited for specialist advice on improving the performance of its void-property function. A competitor seeking to be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need a clear capability to review housing or property processes, analyse causes of poor void performance, identify operational improvements and turn findings into practical recommendations. Experience of building consultancy is directly relevant, as is an understanding of how vacant homes move through inspection, works, compliance and readiness for occupation. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a focused consultancy rather than necessarily a large delivery organisation. Firms should be able to show relevant evidence, a proportionate team and the capacity to complete a concentrated review for a housing provider.
