## Summary

Great Yarmouth Borough Council, located in Town Hall, Great Yarmouth, has concluded the procurement process for the provision of Selective Licensing Services. The contracts, part of a public authority initiative, are intended to manage approximately 5,000 licence applications, initially over a three-month period, followed by ongoing compliance checks annually for up to five years. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and involved multiple stages, eventually leading to the award phase by 9th February 2026. The contract, which commenced on 2nd March 2026 and is set to continue until 1st March 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031, focused on providing administrative housing services, data services, and facilities management across the UKH1 region.

The tender represents significant business growth potential, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Home Safe Delivery Partners Ltd, the awarded supplier. They specialise in delivering database management and administrative services, highlighting opportunities in handling large-scale administrative functions and supporting local government initiatives. The procurement process was divided into two lots: Licence Administration and Inspection, Reporting & Compliance Monitoring, allowing businesses to engage based on expertise. Firms with competencies in administrative housing services, compliance monitoring, and IT-enabled service provision are best positioned to leverage such opportunities for market expansion and operational scaling within the public service sector.

## Notice

GYBC are looking to procure services to manage all applications for selective licensing for the full five-year period of the scheme. It is estimated that up to 5,000 applications will be received during the initial 3-month application period with a further 500 applications received during the scheme arising from changes in ownership, new entrants to the market etc. The Licence Administration Process -involves managing the application process with ongoing annual compliance checking for certification during the life of the scheme.

Renewal: 1 year + 1 year optional extensions. If all extensions taken, total duration of contract will be 5 years. Subject to supplier performance.

### Planning Information

Great Yarmouth Borough Council is inviting suppliers interested in the opportunity to help deliver its proposed Selective Licensing Scheme for approximately 5,000 properties to participate in Preliminary Market Engagement (PME). 
If the scheme is approved later this year the intention would be to commence the scheme in March 2026 with an initial period of 3-4 months for licence applications to be made followed by two rounds of inspections over the following five years.
As part of these services, GYBC are looking for suppliers to:
1. manage the application process with ongoing annual compliance checking for certification during the life of the scheme. 
2. Inspect properties to assess for hazards using HHSRS methodology and to check for compliance with licence conditions.
These are seperate areas of work, and the proposed intention of the tender will be to split it into 2 lots:
Lot 1 - Application Process
Lot 2 - Inspection and Enforcement
GYBC will therefore consider suppliers applying to either 1 lot or both lots. 
As part of the services, GYBC envisage that the supplier would provide a web-based application to enable licence applicants to manage their application online, including making payments. The supplier would be expected to check documentation and carry out a fit and proper person test before passing the application to the council for authorisation. 
The supplier would be expected to arrange the inspection of licensed premises directly with the licence holder and inspection reports and assessments would be passed to the council for further action if actionable hazards or licence breaches are identified.
The purpose of this Pre-Market Engagement (PME) is therefore to ascertain supplier interest in the upcoming tender and GYBC would welcome expressions of interest from the market. 
Please contact Procurement@eastsuffolk.gov.uk to express an interest in the upcoming procurement project and submit any questions or queries regarding the content detailed within the notice. You can also register on In-tend for free in advance of the tender being published free of charge, via the link provided in this notice: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/eastsuffolk.
Following the conclusion of the PME exercise - and assuming sufficient expressions of interest - GYBC will proceed with the proposed formal ITT process likely to commence on or around the 15th September 2025.
