## Summary

The Guinness Partnership Limited bought organisational subscriptions to Inside Housing and Social Housing from Ocean Media Group Limited. This is a media and information subscription service, intended to provide the organisation with access to these housing-sector publications. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was arranged as a single completed lot. The buyer is a public undertaking based in London. The selected supplier, Ocean Media Group Limited, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The subject matter will suit publishers, specialist business-to-business media organisations and information providers that supply institutional subscriptions focused on housing, social housing, property management or related public-sector issues.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ocean Media Group Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the method recorded as unknown. The award was made on 29 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 29 July 2029. Its gross value is £52,000. The contract is active and the award covers the single lot for the publication subscriptions. The published information identifies the selected supplier and the contract value, but gives no further evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria. The requirement was therefore concluded through a below-threshold procurement rather than an above-threshold competition.

This award demonstrates a sustained organisational need for paid access to specialist housing-sector journalism and information. Suppliers best placed for comparable work are publishers and media businesses with established Inside Housing and Social Housing products, or providers able to offer equivalent institutional access to authoritative housing and social housing content. Credibility would come from reliable publication delivery, subscription administration, rights to supply organisational users, and content that is useful to a housing organisation’s professional and operational teams. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large corporate provider. Relevant competitors should be able to evidence sector coverage, service continuity and experience supporting organisational subscribers.
