Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council’s housing service commissioned tenant satisfaction measurement surveys. The work is to survey tenants and provide information on their satisfaction with the council’s housing services, using customer satisfaction survey services. The procurement has one lot and covers delivery across England, from the North East and North West through Yorkshire and the Midlands to the East, London and the South East and South West. The council is the buyer, and the survey results are intended to support its housing service. The requirement is focused on gathering tenant feedback rather than delivering housing management or property services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Acuity Research & Practice Ltd. The council used below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded, and the contract was signed on 6 September 2026. Its period runs from 7 September 2026 to 9 April 2028. The contract value is £59,998 excluding VAT and £71,998 including VAT. The award is active. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the recorded outcome is the clearest indication of the route and result: one provider was selected to deliver the tenant satisfaction surveys for the council’s housing service.

This award shows a council buying a defined tenant-research service: surveys that measure satisfaction with housing services, rather than general market research or housing operations. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate experience designing and delivering tenant satisfaction surveys, reaching housing-service users and producing dependable results that a council can use. The successful supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this requirement was deliverable by an organisation of that scale and type. The single-lot award indicates a requirement handled as one service package, with survey delivery across a broad English footprint. Suppliers with the capacity to manage consistent data collection over a geographically dispersed customer base would be well placed when this buyer’s requirement returns to market.
