Summary of the contracting process

Notting Hill Genesis bought consultancy services from Biscon Planning Limited. The requirement is classified as business and management consultancy and related services, covering consultancy support for the housing organisation. It is a services procurement rather than a works or goods contract. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Notting Hill Genesis, based in London. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the awarded services linked to that requirement. Businesses considering comparable work should therefore be providers of consultancy services, particularly business or management consultancy, with the ability to deliver work for a UK public-sector housing organisation. The published title is simply “Consultancy”, while the description identifies the purchase as consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot. Biscon Planning Limited was selected as the supplier, with an active award. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £44,000 excluding VAT and £52,800 including VAT. The award concerns services delivered in the United Kingdom. The available procurement information identifies the service category but does not set out separate quality, price or technical evaluation weightings. This was therefore a non-competitive below-threshold purchase rather than an open tender.

For consultancy firms, this award shows that Notting Hill Genesis has a defined requirement for business and management consultancy services and has used a direct, below-threshold route to appoint a supplier. Biscon Planning Limited is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be considered suitable for this buyer’s requirements. A credible competitor for comparable future work would need a clear business or management consultancy offer, experience that can be evidenced to a housing-sector organisation, and the capacity to deliver a focused assignment for a public-sector buyer. Understanding below-threshold purchasing and presenting a proportionate, relevant service proposition would also be commercially important for this type of requirement.
