Procurement

Help us provide excellent services to our residents

Housing 21 spends over £100m each year on a wide range of services, goods and works.

The Procurement Team generally supports tenders for national contract awards to ensure residents reside in safe, quality homes that enhance their experience.

Tendering is undertaken in a number of different ways which may include utilising various Framework Agreements or advertising contracts at the following sites:

• For low value opportunities: Contracts Finder
• For high value opportunities: Find high value contracts in the public sector - GOV.UK

Business tips and guidance including how to be a supplier on various framework agreements

Upcoming tendering opportunities can be viewed on the Delta electronic tendering ePortal.

Suppliers and contractors can register for free for various tender alerts and once registration is complete, suppliers can manage individual profiles.

Housing 21 procurement pipelines are regularly reviewed and can be found here.
