## Summary

The procurement process initiated by River Clyde Homes, located in Greenock, aimed to appoint a Development Consultant for advising on social housing development opportunities. This falls under the services category, particularly in the housing and community amenities sector. The process followed an open procedure and encompassed Inverclyde in region UKM83. The tender was active from 25th February 2026, with a submission deadline on 27th March 2026, and subsequently reached the award stage by 28th May 2026. The awarded contract, worth £750,000, was signed on 14th April 2026, with the supplier being Hoos Development from Glasgow.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially those experienced in social housing and project management, to engage in potentially lucrative development activities. Companies demonstrating a strong track record in maximising grant income and showing willingness to work initially on a speculative basis would find this contract beneficial for growth. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in engaging and managing design teams for new builds and regeneration projects are well-suited to compete, offering them a platform for expanding their portfolio and leveraging their expertise in the housing sector.
