## Summary

The procurement process led by East Sussex County Council, in conjunction with numerous local authorities in Sussex, focuses on a "Supported Housing Strategic Needs Assessment". This initiative is in preparation for the new Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. It falls under the services industry category and involves evaluation consultancy services. The procurement utilised a limited method due to its below-threshold requirement, resulting in a contract starting on 20th July 2026 and concluding on 31st December 2026, valued at £191,988 gross. Both East and West Sussex County Councils acted as buyers, with the award being fully completed and active as of 22nd July 2026, involving PRIVATE PUBLIC LTD as the main supplier.

This tender offers valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy services, especially small to medium enterprises (SMEs), to provide insights that aid in developing strategic housing plans. Companies operating within the United Kingdom, particularly those with expertise in consulting for public authorities, can leverage this contract to strengthen their portfolios and expand their reach in the public sector. The active collaboration among various local councils further highlights a significant market for consultancy services focused on public housing assessments. As this is part of regulatory preparations, businesses with innovative approaches to regulatory changes would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
