SOL Housing Reviews 2026
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process for "SOL Housing Reviews 2026" is initiated by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (MBC), a public authority - sub-central government located in Solihull, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the industry category of services, specifically targeting health and social work services, housing services, and related areas. Initially planned to engage potential service providers through pre-market engagement, the process aimed to identify suitable suppliers capable of delivering a housing reviews service as per Section 202 of the Housing Act 1996.
The planning stage was announced on 6th October 2025, with pre-market engagement responses due by 20th October 2025. However, the tender notice for this contract was retracted on 18th November 2025 due to an error, and an engagement milestone remains at the planning stage with potential future communications set for 24th November 2025. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in housing services, health, and social work to expand their portfolios by providing strategic housing review services to a borough council.
The contract's value is estimated at £100,000, extendable through renewals, with a service delivery period from May 2026 to April 2028. Companies experienced in handling statutory housing duties under government regulations would find this an advantageous prospect to leverage their expertise in service delivery and compliance with legislative frameworks like the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. Such procurement can facilitate growth by establishing long-term partnerships with a public authority and enhancing the business's credibility and exposure within the sector.
This is not a procurement exercise, it is a market engagement. The purpose of the contract will be to ensure that decisions requested under S202 of the Housing Act 1996 are made on behalf of SMBC by a suitably qualified and experienced independent expert who is able to offer an impartial and objective review process. The service provider shall effectively discharge SMBC's duty under Section 202 of the Housing Act 1996 (as amended by the Homelessness Act 2002, the Localism Act 2011 and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017) by making and detailing all relevant enquiries; writing review decision letters and adhering to all of the relevant legislative and other legal requirements (including 'The Homelessness (Review Procedure etc.)
Regulations 2018'). This will include having due regard to any additional relevant guidance which may be issued by the Government in relation to aspects of the service.
