Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead commissioned a supported housing needs assessment and a supported housing strategy. The work is a professional housing service intended to help the council understand local supported housing requirements and plan its future provision. Delivery covers the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead area. The buyer is the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, a sub-central public authority based in Maidenhead. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing supported housing research, needs assessments, housing market analysis, strategic advice or related consultancy. It is also relevant to housing-sector specialists able to turn evidence about supported housing demand, supply and provision into practical strategy for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One requirement was awarded to Housing LIN enterprise LTD, an SME. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £31,500 excluding VAT, or £37,800 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies housing services as the procurement category. The award relates to the full supported housing needs assessment and supported housing strategy requirement. The available process information does not set out a competitive evaluation or scored award basis, because the council used a direct award without competition.

This procurement shows demand from the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead for specialist supported housing intelligence and strategic planning. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need credible expertise in supported housing, including assessing local need, understanding existing provision and identifying gaps. Useful capability would include housing research, stakeholder engagement, analysis of evidence and the production of clear strategies that a council can use for commissioning and policy decisions. The awarded supplier is an SME housing-sector organisation, indicating that a focused specialist can deliver this type of local-authority assignment without the scale of a major generalist consultancy. Relevant experience should combine practical supported housing knowledge with concise, evidence-based advice.
