Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council sought a housing needs assessment service to support its understanding of housing needs. This is research and consultancy work, rather than a contract to build or supply housing. The council is based in York, and the procurement was for its housing needs assessment. The delivery location is identified as North Yorkshire. The requirement was treated as a service and divided into one lot.

The council invited offers through an open competition below the relevant threshold. The process was subsequently cancelled. The enquiry deadline was 20 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time, and the bid deadline was 27 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period ran from 16 November 2026 to 16 November 2029. The estimated value was £32,000 excluding VAT (£40,000 including VAT). The council said it would select the most advantageous tender using a 30:70 price-to-quality weighting. The cancellation notice gives no reason for the cancellation.

The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was aimed at suppliers able to carry out housing needs research and provide related consultancy to a local authority. The work would suit organisations with relevant research expertise and the capacity to deliver an assessment over a multi-year contract period. No specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or prior experience requirements are set out in the available procurement details. The process was cancelled after offers had been invited, so this particular opportunity did not proceed to supplier selection.
