## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council has completed a procurement process to conduct a high-level assessment for social and affordable housing, located in the UKD6 region of the United Kingdom. The process employed a direct procurement method, categorised under site-investigation services (CPV code 71510000). The contract, valued at £62,928, began on 9th April 2026 and is set to conclude by 30th September 2026. It was awarded to IDENTITY CONSULT LIMITED and is part of the council's initiative to further assess potential sites for future housing developments. The tender process was concluded by the award phase, without the need for competitive tendering due to its value being below certain thresholds.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in site-investigation services, particularly those with expertise in the housing sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) similar to IDENTITY CONSULT LIMITED, which won the contract, are well-suited to engage in such projects. These businesses have the opportunity to bolster their portfolios by contributing to the burgeoning field of social infrastructure development, thus positioning themselves for future contracts as local authorities increasingly look to expand affordable housing options.
