## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council commissioned a housing needs assessment and Supported Housing Strategy for Rotherham. The work covers surveying residents and analysing the local housing market, affordability, demand for affordable housing and specialist housing needs. The resulting strategy is intended to show the different needs of residents and the number and types of homes required, and to comply with government guidance on Local Supported Housing Strategies. This is a housing research and strategic advisory service, classified under CPV 70333000 (housing services). Delivery is centred on Rotherham and concerns the borough’s residents, housing market and supported housing requirements. The procurement is therefore relevant to organisations with experience in housing needs assessments, housing-market analysis, resident research and supported housing strategy development for local authorities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to ICENI PROJECTS LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition, rather than an open procedure, and was arranged as a single lot. The contract value is £92,064 gross. The recorded contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 23 January 2027. The contract record gives 23 July 2026 as the signing date, while the tender description states that signing actually concluded on 29 July 2026. The selected supplier is ICENI PROJECTS LIMITED, an SME. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition for the complete housing needs assessment and supported housing strategy service; the published data does not set out separate scoring weightings or other evaluation criteria. The contract remains recorded as active.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement demonstrates a council requirement for integrated housing research and policy advice rather than a standalone report. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to combine resident survey design and delivery with robust analysis of housing-market conditions, affordability, affordable-housing demand and specialist housing need. It would also need to turn evidence into a practical supported housing strategy that addresses local resident needs, housing supply and the number and types of homes required. Familiarity with local-authority housing policy and government guidance for Local Supported Housing Strategies would be important, as would the capacity to manage research, analysis and strategy production as one coherent service. The buyer’s use of a limited competition also shows the relevance of a clearly evidenced specialist track record.
