Summary of the contracting process

Ochil View Housing Association Limited intends to commission an independent, evidence-based review of its Property Services Team. The work is to assess the team and identify the organisational structure, staffing capacity, skills and working arrangements needed to provide high-quality, efficient and responsive services over the next three to five years. This is a management consultancy and organisational review assignment, rather than property maintenance or construction work. Delivery is for the Association in Alloa, Scotland. The review is intended to inform how its property services are organised and staffed to meet service needs.

This process is at the planning and market-engagement stage: the Association has stated its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. The Association expects to procure the contract directly, with consultants selected through a quality and price evaluation. The estimated contract value is £10,000. Interested consultants are asked to request the brief and questionnaire and complete the questionnaire to be considered; tenders were described as due by 5pm on 12 November 2026. The Association expects the assignment to be completed by 12 February 2027. The procurement is presented as a single assignment, with no separate work packages described.

This assignment is suited to consultancy firms with experience in independently reviewing housing providers’ property services teams. Relevant strengths include evidence-based organisational assessment, workforce and capacity planning, analysis of skills and working arrangements, and recommendations on structures that support responsive and efficient service delivery. Suppliers should be able to assess the team’s requirements over a three-to-five-year planning horizon and translate findings into practical advice for the Association. The stated selection basis is a combination of quality and price, so firms should be prepared to demonstrate the strength and relevance of their proposed approach as well as competitive pricing. The Association directs interested consultants to request and complete its Consultants Brief and Consultants Questionnaire before they can be considered.
