## Summary

Cambridge City Council is procuring consultancy support for two local not-for-profit landlords seeking registration as not-for-profit registered providers with the Regulator of Social Housing. The consultant is expected first to meet with the landlords and then assist them through their registration applications. This is a social housing registration and business consultancy service, rather than a contract to build or manage housing. The work is for the two landlords and their applications; the council is based in Cambridge.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 26 October 2026 at 23:59, and the tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2027, with a possible continuation of services extending the period to 15 December 2027. The stated procurement value is £72,000 gross. The single lot is evaluated on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%.

This opportunity suits consultancies with practical expertise in social housing regulation and the process for registering not-for-profit providers with the Regulator of Social Housing. Suppliers should be able to engage with two separate landlord organisations, understand their circumstances and guide them through application preparation and submission. The work combines initial meetings with sustained advisory support, so bidders need strong client-facing skills and the capacity to support both organisations over the delivery period. Experience advising not-for-profit housing providers or similar organisations on regulatory registration would be directly relevant. The emphasis on quality over price favours a clear, credible approach to delivering effective guidance, alongside competitive pricing.
