## Summary

Drumchapel Housing Co-operative Ltd, in collaboration with Cernach Housing Association Limited, has completed a procurement process for Finance Manager Services. The contract, awarded through an open procedure, is tailored to support financial planning, compliance, and management services across both housing organisations in Glasgow's Drumchapel area. The procurement was managed under the industry category of Housing and Community Amenities and follows the regulatory guidelines for bodies governed by public law. Initially advertised in April 2025, tenders were submitted electronically until June 2025, with the service contract officially starting on 1 July 2025 and covering an initial three-year term with possible extensions. The contract was awarded to fmd financial services ltd on 11 July 2025, with a total contract value of £198,000.

This procurement process presents a valuable business opportunity for companies specialising in financial management services, particularly those with experience in handling complex compliance and planning in the housing sector. Businesses with a strong track record in delivering strategic financial advice and ensuring regulatory compliance could greatly benefit from engaging in similar procurement opportunities. The requirement for financial modelling, budget preparation, and business planning means that SMEs with robust financial service capabilities are well-positioned to compete in this sector, potentially boosting their portfolio and expanding their influence within the public sector. This specific contract also included options for additional call-off services which could further extend the value and scope of the engagement for capable service providers.
