What is being bought

The London Borough of Harrow wishes to engage prospective suppliers that have the capacity and expertise to source suitable and affordable accommodation for the purpose of housing homeless applicants and provide a supportive service that helps individuals and families successfully sustain their tenancies. In addition to securing properties, the Council requires the appointed organisation to offer tenancy sustainment support for a minimum period of 12 months. This should include assistance to help residents stabilise their circumstances, maximise their income, and improve their longer-term housing prospects. Support services may include guidance with job searching, CV preparation, and connecting applicants to relevant employment or training opportunities. Any accommodation sourced should be affordable and aligned with Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates or otherwise be financially viable for the individual households being referred. Payments to the supplier would be structured on a delivery basis, meaning that fees would be paid per successful letting rather than provided upfront. The objective of this approach is to establish a reliable pathway into sustainable PRS accommodation for households experiencing homelessness, while ensuring affordability and appropriate support mechanisms are in place.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 55. The category anchor is Letting services of short-stay furnished accommodation (55250000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 558304 median · 12.6 average (219 of 830 with a bid count)1.9 average (226 of 830 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKI7454 median · 3.7 average (3 of 5 with a bid count)1.3 average (3 of 5 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
