The procurement challenge for Housing Associations 

Housing associations operate in a complex environment: rising costs, safety regulation, decarbonisation demands, maintenance backlogs, and tight budgets.

Key pressures include:

  • Procurement Act 2023 compliance, including increased transparency and reporting.
  • Financial sustainability under increasing cost-inflation, regulatory change and decarbonisation obligations.
  • Stock condition, maintenance demand and compliance (building safety, fire risk, retrofit)
  • Scarce procurement resource, specialist delivery capacity and skill gaps
  • Need for procurement to link seamlessly with asset strategy, homes investment and resident outcomes
  • Need for demonstrable value for money and transparent decisions under audit/regulation

You need procurement that enables delivery of homes and tenant services, not just contracts.
We enable housing associations to shift from transactional buying to strategic sourcing, delivering value across the portfolio.

Northampton Partnership Homes

We supported a Northampton based housing association in the East Midlands to overhaul its procurement function across a wide range of professional services and works — from minor contracts to major construction projects. By introducing a compliant and more efficient route to market, we helped streamline the contract award process, maintain budgets, and free up funds for local social value programmes. Our team supplied an interim Head of Procurement for nine months to lead the transformation, manage the pipeline, and prepare the organisation for new procurement legislation.

Why Local Authorities choose us

  • Regulator- and safety-led – PA2023 aligned procurement designed to withstand scrutiny from Boards, auditors, and the Regulator of Social Housing, with clear alignment to building safety and consumer standards.
  • Delivery confidence over lowest price – contractor selection focused on operational capacity, mobilisation readiness, and financial resilience, not paper savings.
  • Risk-aware lotting and packaging – contract structures shaped to avoid over-concentration, single-point failure, and unmanaged subcontracting risk.
  • Market-realistic strategies – deep understanding of constrained markets, labour shortages, and regional capacity limits.
  • Defensible evaluation of quality – clear, evidence-led scoring of mobilisation plans, supervision models, compliance capability, and resident experience.
  • Tenant impact front-and-centre – procurement decisions grounded in service reliability, safety outcomes, and complaint risk.
  • Supports stretched asset teams – hands-on procurement delivery that reduces burden on internal teams while maintaining governance and control.
  • Built for long-term performance – contracts structured for performance management, early warning, and issue resolution, not just award.

We don’t just run tenders — we improve the way housing associations procure and deliver.
