UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes in Somerset Limited commissioned procurement consultancy support to help the organisation through its transition to becoming a 10,000-home provider. The work is a professional service focused on procurement rather than the purchase of goods or construction works. The stated purpose is to support Homes in Somerset during organisational growth; no more detailed tasks or deliverables are described. The buyer is a housing organisation based in Bridgwater, and the service is associated with Somerset. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and procurement advisers experienced in supporting housing providers with procurement as their scale and organisational needs change.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to J H Assisted Procurement Solutions. Homes in Somerset used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. The single lot covers procurement support. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £31,500 including VAT. The award record does not provide a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier beyond the direct-award route is not stated. The contract supports Homes in Somerset through its transition to a 10,000-home organisation.

For procurement consultancies considering similar work with Homes in Somerset, this award indicates demand for focused advisory support during significant organisational growth. A credible supplier would need to help a housing provider manage procurement through a transition towards a 10,000-home scale, bringing relevant procurement expertise and the ability to work alongside an organisation undergoing change. The buyer selected a small enterprise through a direct award below the threshold, rather than a competition, showing that this requirement was met through a relatively small-scale consultancy engagement. The work is specifically procurement support for Homes in Somerset; suppliers whose experience is limited to unrelated housing services would be less closely matched. Demonstrable experience advising housing organisations as their operations expand would be pertinent when this requirement is next considered.
