UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited commissioned an independent assurance review of its Transformation and Strategy Delivery Framework. The requirement is a professional business consultancy service, covering assurance of transformation activity and strategy delivery rather than construction, supplies or routine facilities management. The buyer is a housing group based in Middlesbrough, and the awarded work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is relevant to consultancies that review organisational transformation, assess strategic delivery, test governance and provide independent assurance to public or housing-sector organisations. Firms whose work is limited to physical housing repairs, property maintenance, materials supply or general administrative support would be unlikely to match the central requirement.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded on 11 August 2026 to Rannoch Associates Limited. The active contract was signed on 11 August 2026, runs from 11 August to 30 September 2026, and has a gross value of £41,400. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the available outcome identifies the service as business consultancy and confirms Rannoch Associates as the selected supplier. The contract concerns a single assurance review of the transformation and strategy delivery framework, rather than a multi-lot programme. The process has therefore moved beyond tendering into contracted delivery.

This award is a useful indicator of demand from Thirteen Housing Group for independent scrutiny of transformation and strategy delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need a consultancy team able to assess whether strategic programmes are being delivered effectively, examine governance and controls, identify delivery risks, and provide clear, evidence-based assurance to senior decision-makers. Experience translating complex transformation activity into practical findings would be relevant, as would the ability to work independently of the programme being reviewed. The awarded supplier is an SME consultancy, showing that this type of assurance work can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large professional-services firm.
