Consultancy Services DPS
Framework Description
The Consultancy Services DPS is a dynamic purchasing system run by Procure Plus, a not-for-profit organisation that buys goods and services for building, repairing and maintaining social housing. It gives buyers a route to consultancy across several business categories, including management advice, technical support and strategic planning. It is live until 23 February 2029 and remains open to new suppliers while it runs.
Context & Use Case
Social housing organisations working with Procure Plus use it when a project needs outside expertise: improving how a service runs, technical input on their homes, or longer-term strategy. Requirements are competed among admitted consultants, and because new firms can join at any time, buyers can find specialists for unusual briefs rather than forcing work onto a fixed panel.
Scope of Services
Management consultancy and organisational improvement Technical consultancy Strategic planning Financial consultancy HR and workforce consultancy ICT strategy and implementation consultancy

Who Can Apply
Suits consultancies of any size with social housing or public sector clients, from specialist sole traders to larger firms. It is a DPS, so you can apply to join now and up to February 2029 if you meet the selection criteria.
Buyer Benefits
Housing providers can buy advice through a not-for-profit route built for their sector, with competition on each brief keeping fees in check and quality visible before appointment. They can also bring in niche experts as needs arise without starting a procurement from scratch.
Next Steps
Start with Find a Tender notice 032694-2025 and follow its instructions to register and apply. Prepare consultant CVs, social housing case studies with measurable results, day rates and standard policies. After admission, read each brief closely: consultancy competitions are often won on method and named team rather than price alone.
How Athena Can Help
A place on Procure Plus's DPS opens a direct line to social housing clients. Athena can complete the application and present your housing experience through our support joining this DPS.
Once you are admitted, our bid writing for consultancy briefs builds proposals around named experts, method and F.V.D. win themes, while our public tender go/no-go reviews help you focus on the briefs you can win, rather than spreading effort across every invitation.
