## Summary

The North East Lincolnshire Borough Council has engaged Home Safe Delivery Partners Ltd as the delivery partner for its Selective Licensing Scheme, focusing on the East Marsh area of Grimsby. The procurement process is in the Award stage, with all contracts signed by 21 April 2026. The scheme will run for five years starting in April 2026, addressing residential property renting or leasing services. Given the urgent need to comply with statutory requirements, the contract was awarded directly to Home Safe, due to limited competition in the market. The contract is valued at £561,850 excluding VAT, with an option for additional services should the need arise.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in property management and enforcement services. SMEs with expertise in residential property inspection and related services may find potential growth opportunities during the five-year contract period. The selective licensing scheme aims to improve housing standards, thereby providing a stable platform for continued business operations within North East Lincolnshire. Businesses with established experience in managing large-scale property portfolios or those seeking to expand their reach within the residential property sector could benefit from participating in this initiative.

### Procurement Information

This is a new and limited market and there absence of competition due to technical reasons. Due to this and the statutory legal requirement to have a service in place by 8th April 2026, the Authority initially tried to recruit and deliver the service in house however recruitment failed. The Authority then conducted a PME (see linked notice) and the only respondent was Home Safe and benchmarking research with other Authorities confirmed that there was only one provider available.
