## Summary

The procurement process initiated by River Clyde Homes seeks a Development Consultant to provide expertise in social housing development opportunities, specifically in the areas of new build and regeneration activities. This contracting process is classified under 'Development consultancy services' and takes place in Inverclyde, Scotland, as part of the services industry category. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, reflective of an open, competitive tender process. Key dates for consideration include the initial tender publication date on 25 February 2026, with a submission deadline on 27 March 2026, followed by a contract award on 14 April 2026. The award was made to Hoos Development, and the contract is valued at £750,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in consultancy services related to construction, architecture, engineering, and quantity surveying. Businesses with a proven track record in maximising grant income for projects and the ability to manage a design team effectively will find this opportunity especially relevant.

SMEs, such as Hoos Development, which has been successfully awarded the contract, demonstrate that smaller firms with niche expertise can successfully compete in such procurements, potentially aiding their business growth through public sector engagements.
