UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council bought regulatory inspection preparation and support services relating to the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). The work is business and management consultancy: supporting the council to prepare for an RSH regulatory inspection. The requirement is recorded as one lot, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The contract title and description identify inspection preparation and support as the purpose, but do not provide further detail about particular workstreams or outputs. This is a council consultancy requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Altair Consultancy and Advisory Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The process was below the relevant procurement threshold; the procurement method is recorded as unknown. There was one lot, and the contract is active. The published data does not describe the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the outcome establishes the selected supplier but not the basis on which bids were compared.

This award demonstrates a defined need at Exeter City Council for specialist consultancy to prepare for and support an RSH regulatory inspection. A credible future competitor would need relevant social housing regulatory knowledge and the ability to help a local authority organise its preparation and provide practical inspection support. The requirement was delivered as a single consultancy contract, suggesting suppliers should be capable of covering the support service as a whole rather than relying on a narrowly defined goods or works package. Altair Consultancy and Advisory Services Ltd., an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller consultancy was able to secure the work. The recorded procurement route was below threshold, so firms tracking this council’s consultancy requirements may find that route relevant when considering similar work.
