UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council commissioned a housing needs assessment and supported housing strategy for Rotherham. The work covers understanding residents’ housing needs and identifying the number and types of homes required. It includes surveying residents and analysing the local housing market, affordability, demand for affordable housing and specialist housing needs. The resulting supported housing strategy is intended to comply with the government’s guidance on Local Supported Housing Strategies. This is a professional research and consultancy service covering housing services, housing analysis and strategy development. The requirement is relevant to organisations with experience in housing needs assessments, local housing-market analysis and supported housing policy for a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to ICENI PROJECTS LIMITED. It used a below-threshold tender route, with one completed lot, and the requirement was evaluated as a services procurement. The award is active and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 January 2027. Its gross value is £92,064 including VAT. The appointed supplier is an SME. The work covers the full housing needs assessment and supported housing strategy requirement for Rotherham Borough Council, rather than separate awards for different service elements. The award provides evidence of a defined local-authority commission for research, housing-market analysis and strategy production.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Rotherham Borough Council for specialist housing research and evidence-led strategic advice. A credible future competitor would need to combine housing needs assessment with practical analysis of affordability, housing-market conditions, affordable-housing demand and specialist housing requirements. Relevant capability includes designing and delivering resident surveys, interpreting quantitative and qualitative housing evidence, assessing the number and types of homes required, and translating findings into a supported housing strategy. Experience of working with councils and producing policy documents aligned with government guidance would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement suits an established housing consultancy, research organisation or specialist SME able to manage analysis, stakeholder evidence and strategy writing as one integrated assignment.
