Procurement teams in the housing association sector are facing multiple challenges. High inflation, tightening regulations, resource restrictions, recruitment issues and project delays, means that procurement leaders must find ways to leverage their function, deliver value for money to their tenants and mitigate risk.
eXceeding offers invaluable support to housing association procurement teams, providing both expertise and additional capacity to bolster internal resources, particularly during times of knowledge gaps or resource constraints.
The eXceeding team was recommended to me by one of our own team who had worked with their consultants previously. We were not disappointed! We had access to multiple members of the eXceeding team and they kept us well informed throughout the process, but they managed every element of what could have been a very complex procurement process. We would be happy to recommend them to anyone struggling to manage OJEU processes like we were.
The Social Housing sector invested £12.5 billion in 2023 in both new and existing homes. That’s an increase of 16% on the previous year.
From new building projects to essential day-to-day professional services and works, projects can range from low value to multi-million-pound construction projects. Delivering this pipeline can be challenging to manage, especially when you are looking for the most efficient route to market that will offer the best value for your organisation and local community.
As the Procurement Act regulations loom, our assistance becomes even more crucial, helping organisations not only prepare for the changes but also identify opportunities and implement necessary adjustments.
