Procurement and commercial support for housing associations

Commercial, contract and programme expertise for registered providers and social housing organisations.

In short

Social housing organisations run large, long-running contracts in repairs, maintenance, compliance and development, under regulatory scrutiny and with residents who feel the result directly. Commercial performance and service performance are the same conversation.

What organisations here usually need help with

  • Repairs and maintenance contracts that are not delivering
  • Major frameworks approaching renewal with limited preparation
  • Compliance and safety obligations flowing into supplier arrangements
  • Development programmes under cost pressure
  • Data on spend and supplier performance that nobody trusts

How we help

Procurement and commercial support

Category strategy and competitive processes for repairs, planned works, compliance and corporate spend, including regulated processes where they apply.

Programme and project delivery

Programme and project leadership for development, retrofit and system change, and independent review when a programme is slipping.

Change and transformation

Operating model and process work across repairs, allocations and customer service where handoffs are the problem.

Commercial governance

Contract management, supplier performance frameworks and the reporting that boards and regulators expect to see.

Systems and process change

Housing management and asset system implementations, and making them stick with frontline teams.
