Procurement's Untapped Power in Social Housing

03/06/2026

The launch of the Procurement Intelligence Hub marks a shift in how the housing sector can approach procurement: from compliance exercise to strategic tool for delivering healthier homes.  

At a glance 

  • Procurement engaged late in the asset management process routinely produces solutions that do not match the operational realities of delivery, and early strategic involvement is the proven corrective. 

  • The Procurement Act 2023 introduces mandatory KPI transparency on contracts above specified thresholds, creating sector-wide accountability for outcomes rather than process compliance. 

  • The Procurement Intelligence Hub launches as a shared resource of specifications, case studies and hard-won lessons, with the explicit aim of preventing housing providers from repeating avoidable mistakes.
