UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

MHS Homes Group commissioned consultancy services for its organisational strategy. The requirement covers business and management consultancy and related advisory services, under the title “MHS Homes Strategy”. The work is being delivered for MHS Homes Group, a sub-central public authority based in Chatham, Kent. Delivery is recorded for South East England. The procurement concerns a single, complete requirement rather than separate service areas. It is relevant to consultancies that advise housing organisations or other public-sector bodies on strategy, business planning, organisational direction and related management issues. The selected supplier is a specialist consultancy, indicating that the work is advisory rather than the supply of goods, construction or operational facilities services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Altair Consultancy and Advisory Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 May 2027. Its value is £46,700 excluding VAT, or £56,040 including VAT. The contract is active. The published procurement information identifies business and management consultancy as the service classification. The available outcome information records the successful supplier and the single awarded requirement; it does not set out an award weighting or separate scoring basis. This is therefore a completed, small-scale public-sector consultancy purchase rather than an unawarded market opportunity.

This award is useful market evidence for consultancies that provide business strategy and management advice to housing organisations. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate a clear capability to develop or support organisational strategy, translate analysis into practical management advice, and deliver consultancy outputs for a public-sector client. Experience of housing, social housing or comparable regulated public services would help show an understanding of the operating environment, although the procurement data does not identify a specific accreditation or technical qualification. The selected supplier is an SME consultancy, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused advisory business rather than only by a large professional-services firm. Relevant firms should monitor this buyer’s future strategy and management consultancy requirements.
