Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council is seeking a suitably qualified research consultant to carry out a comprehensive review of its Housing Services and Housing Revenue Account. The work covers strategic service performance and capacity, the sustainability of the Housing Revenue Account and long-term financial planning, repairs, voids and the direct labour organisation delivery model, factoring, stores and materials management, sheltered housing provision, and benchmarking against peer local authorities. This is a professional research and housing-services consultancy assignment, classified under CPV 72220000 for systems and technical consulting services. The work will be delivered for East Renfrewshire Council in East Renfrewshire. The requirement is arranged as one lot and concerns services rather than construction, routine maintenance or the supply of goods.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 16 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also due to be opened. The contract period is 120 days, described as 16 weeks, and the estimated value is £60,000 including the single lot. Bids must remain valid for 180 days. Evaluation gives quality an overall weighting of 40%, with detailed quality sub-weightings in the procurement documents, alongside economic and financial selection requirements. Variants are not allowed. The Council requires staff names and qualifications, English-language submissions, and mandatory community benefits with a minimum requirement of 40 Community Benefit Points.

This opportunity suits established housing consultancies, research practices and public-sector advisers with the capability to assess housing-service performance, organisational capacity, financial sustainability and delivery models. Relevant experience should include housing revenue account planning, long-term financial analysis, repairs and voids, direct labour organisations, factoring, stores and materials, sheltered housing and benchmarking with comparable local authorities. Bidders need sufficient economic and financial strength to complete the assignment and must meet the required turnover conditions or provide equivalent evidence and assurances. Required insurance levels are £10 million employers’ liability, £5 million public liability and £2 million professional indemnity. Teams must provide staff names and qualifications, and consortium or subcontracting arrangements may be assessed for financial standing and suitability. Suppliers must also be able to deliver the mandatory community-benefit commitments.
