Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured consultancy support for implementing an NEC CRM system. The requirement is classified as recruitment services, indicating a people-focused consultancy or contractor-support element alongside the CRM implementation work. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is Thirteen Housing Group Limited, a housing group based in Middlesbrough. The work is relevant to consultancies, recruitment businesses and specialist implementation providers that can support a housing organisation with NEC CRM implementation across a geographically broad operating area. The requirement was handled as a single service lot and relates specifically to the LaunchPad Consultant requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: GRAVITAS RECRUITMENT GROUP LIMITED. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and is active from 9 July 2026 to 8 July 2027. Its gross value is £46,080. The award covers the single lot and the associated service requirement for NEC CRM implementation support. The recorded procurement category is services, with the item classification describing recruitment services. The process therefore represents a completed, relatively small-scale consultancy or specialist resourcing engagement rather than an open tender currently seeking bids. The award outcome provides the relevant route, scope and commercial scale for businesses monitoring comparable future requirements from this buyer.

This award demonstrates that Thirteen Housing Group uses a limited-competition route for specialist support connected with NEC CRM implementation. Businesses best placed for a comparable future requirement would be able to show practical experience implementing or supporting NEC CRM systems, particularly in a housing or other complex service environment. Recruitment and consultancy firms may also be relevant where they can provide appropriately skilled implementation personnel rather than general recruitment alone. Credibility would come from evidence of delivering similar CRM change, understanding operational requirements, supplying suitable consultants and supporting implementation across multiple English regions. Providers should be comfortable with a single, focused service requirement and the scale of a specialist engagement. The completed award also indicates that a competitor would need to monitor this buyer's technology and consultancy purchasing activity and understand its limited-competition procurement approach.
