| Buyer: | Gosport Borough Council |

| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | This is an extremely urgent procurement as a result of the Council's Regulator of Social Housing judgement and its grading results. There is a risk that some GBC tenants are in properties that are not fully compliant with fire, electrical and gas checks or essential repairs having been done and current data is not reliable. There is not in-house expertise or capacity to undertake this work and therefore a consultant has been procured outside of the normal procurement process for this value of contract. The Regulator has voiced concerns about the speed of process and is now pressing very hard for GBC to appoint a consultant to mitigate the risk to tenants and give assurance the data we are now providing is accurate and future works are quantified and planned in, policies written and a full Comprehensive Improvement Plan is in place. An informal process has taken place with 3 suppliers having been asked to submit a proposal, all 3 have been verified as working for Councils either expecting or having had an inspection. |

| Award status: | Pending |
There is an urgent need to procure consultancy support to undertake the work needed to prepare and implement a Comprehensive Improvement Plan as required by the Regulator. This will include a full review of the Housing Section structure and resources to ensure the required and correct structure and resource is in place going forwards. GBC does not have in-house resource or expertise to undertake the required work or at the pace it is required. An external consultant will provide the necessary immediate resource and an independence that will give assurance to the Regulator that the Council is dealing with its failings in an urgent and thorough manner. It will allow full transparency of process and allow GBC to have a clear understanding of the immediate, medium and long term strategies and programmes of work and appropriate budgets needed to bring our homes, policies and processes up to standard and ultimately ensure our residents are safe and increase our RSH grading.
