## Summary

The London Borough of Waltham Forest commissioned consultancy support to develop a local supported housing strategy. The work covers research and development consultancy, alongside business and management consultancy, to help the Council shape its approach to supported housing. The contract is for the Council, with delivery identified in the United Kingdom. This is a strategy-development assignment rather than the provision or operation of supported housing itself. Suppliers whose work includes housing research, policy development and strategic advice for local authorities are most closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected: Imogen Blood and Associates Ltd. The Council used a below-threshold quotation process. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 May 2027, with an extension possible to 30 July 2027 if the required outputs have not been delivered. The awarded contract value is £46,500 excluding VAT (£55,800 including VAT). The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published details do not state the evaluation criteria or how quotations were scored.

This award shows demand from Waltham Forest for specialist consultancy that can turn evidence and local needs into a supported housing strategy. A credible competitor would need strong research and policy skills, an understanding of supported housing and the local authority context, and the ability to develop practical strategic recommendations. The work is a defined consultancy assignment, so suppliers should be able to deliver focused analysis and agreed outputs within a relatively short project period. Experience advising councils on housing strategy, supported accommodation or related services would help demonstrate relevance. The selected supplier is a specialist consultancy, indicating that a focused advisory firm can compete for this type of requirement; the published information does not identify required accreditations or specific technical qualifications.
