Summary of the contracting process

Cadder Housing Association sought consultancy services from a Director of Operations to support its housing association operations. The work is a senior operational leadership service rather than a goods or construction contract. The requirement is for the association, based in Glasgow, and delivery is in Glasgow. The procurement is for one service requirement, covering the provision of Director of Operations services. The service is intended to start in November 2026, with the specified initial contract period running to the end of March 2027. The association’s description also allows for a possible extension, subject to the terms set out for the service.

The process reached tender: Cadder Housing Association invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The submission deadline set was 12 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the bid opening was scheduled for the same time. The tender states a contract period from 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, and describes an option to extend by up to 12 months. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation and qualification include suitability and technical criteria: bidders must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade register where required, such as Companies House in the UK or an equivalent register elsewhere. The tender states that service delivery is reserved to a particular profession. Staff names and qualifications must be provided.

This opportunity is suited to consultants or professional services firms able to provide experienced operational leadership for a housing association. Bidders need to meet the requirement that execution is reserved to a particular profession, although the specific profession is not identified in the published selection criterion. They must also be able to demonstrate enrolment in the relevant professional or trade register where required, and provide the names and qualifications of the staff assigned to the work. The requirement is a single, time-limited Director of Operations consultancy, with the possibility of an extension, so it may suit providers able to make senior operational expertise available for a defined engagement. The contract is relevant to suppliers with experience delivering operational management services in the housing or community amenities sector.
