## Summary

The procurement process, awarded and completed as of 17th October 2025, involved Chelmer Housing Partnership Limited as the buying organisation and took place in the UK with a specific focus on the East of England region. The tender, titled "Potential Merger Branding," was part of the services industry category, specifically targeting design consultancy services. The process utilised a limited competition method under the threshold, with the procurement aimed at developing a brand and visual identity for a new organisation emerging from the merger of Chelmer Housing Partnership and Estuary Housing Association. Key dates include the contract period from 10th October 2025 to 30th April 2026, with potential extension contingent on the merger progress by December 2025, bringing the total contract value to £39,924 GBP.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in design consultancy services, particularly those with experience in brand development within public sector contexts. The project is ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises eager to expand their portfolio by collaborating with reputable housing associations and contributing to a significant organisational transformation. As "STEFFCO LIMITED" has been awarded the contract, businesses similar in scale and capability could find future opportunities in similar procurements by aligning their service offerings with the core values and objectives of public housing partnerships.

## Notice

We wish to commission an external company (the Supplier) to support CHP and Estuary in developing a brand and visual identity for a new merged organisation. The new organisation is about bringing the best of CHP and Estuary together and the new branding and visual identity should include elements of this legacy, aiming to reflect the similarity of the values of each organisation and to be accessible and inclusive. Consulting and working with colleagues and customers, the key aim of the contract is to develop a strong brand that reflects the values and vision of the new organisation whilst also providing value for money.
