## Summary

Wigan Council has completed a procurement process titled "Development of a New Wigan Borough Housing Strategy," falling under the industry categories of real estate services and business services including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The project, located in Wigan, UK, involves the development of an up-to-date housing strategy based on recent assessments and legislative changes. Notably, this contract was awarded on 18th March 2025, and ARC4 LIMITED has been selected as the supplier for this project. The contract period commences on 3rd May 2025 and concludes on 2nd September 2025, with a total value of £35,340.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in consulting, real estate, and legislative services. Companies that offer strategic planning and housing market assessments are well-suited for such projects. Given that the procurement process was executed through direct procurement and was below the threshold, it suggests a streamlined process for firms that can offer specialised, evidence-based consulting services to public authorities. The successful bidder, ARC4 LIMITED, exemplifies the type of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can capitalise on such opportunities to expand their portfolio and influence in the public sector housing strategy development.

## Notice

Wigan Council's last Housing Strategy was published in 2020. A new, up-to-date Housing Strategy is required to help set the direction of housing locally for the next five years, building on the findings of the recent Local Housing Needs Assessment 2024 and responding to recent changes in the housing market, legislative and regulatory reform (such as the Renters' Rights Bill and the Social Housing Regulation Act) and our new corporate strategies and movements for change (Progress with Unity). The new Housing Strategy will be a practical, evidence-based document, helping to shape the Council's housing services and inform decisions regarding housing planning and delivery.
