Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited, based in Middlesbrough, procured management consultancy support under the title TOM Consultancy Support. The requirement covers business and management consultancy services, including management-related services. The work is intended to support the housing group’s organisational or operating-model needs, although the published description does not provide a more detailed work package. Delivery covers England, with the listed delivery areas spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a services procurement for a single requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The selected supplier is HD Advisory Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Ferring, West Sussex.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. It comprised one completed lot. HD Advisory Limited was selected for the management consultancy support. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026, runs from 3 April 2026 to 31 December 2026, and has a value of £118,260 excluding VAT, or £141,912 including VAT. The contract is active. The process used the UK legal basis associated with the Procurement Act 2023. As this was a below-threshold direct award without competition, suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender. The outcome therefore provides a clear example of this buyer using a direct route for a defined consultancy requirement.

For competing consultancies, this award demonstrates demand from a housing-sector organisation for practical management and business consultancy support delivered across England. A credible future provider would need to show relevant experience of advising organisations on management or operating-model requirements, with the ability to work across multiple English regions. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large consultancy. Useful evidence would include comparable assignments, clear senior advisory capability, strong understanding of organisational change and management issues, and sufficient people and delivery arrangements to support a housing group. Suppliers should also understand that this buyer has used a direct, below-threshold route for this kind of focused consultancy need.
