Summary of the contracting process

FAIR4ALL FINANCE LIMITED commissioned a research programme into social landlords’ needs and the challenges and opportunities involved in providing residents with access to home contents insurance. The work is research services, intended to build understanding of the social landlord market and how insurance access can be provided to residents. Delivery covers England, across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to The Housing Associations Charitable Trust. FAIR4ALL FINANCE used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its gross value is £33,427.20. The research was procured as one lot. The published process data identifies the requirement and award but does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

For a future repeat of this specific requirement, credible suppliers would need to understand social landlords and the practical barriers and opportunities in making home contents insurance accessible to their residents. Relevant strengths include research design and delivery, engagement with housing associations and their residents, and the ability to turn findings about landlord needs into actionable insight for an organisation working on financial inclusion. The selected provider is a charitable housing-sector research organisation, indicating that sector knowledge and trusted access to housing stakeholders are relevant credentials. This was a small, focused research commission, rather than a large insurance underwriting or brokerage contract; suppliers should be able to deliver a bounded research programme at that scale.
