Our Monthly Briefing provides a concise overview of activity across the UK social housing repairs, maintenance and construction sector. Drawing on live procurement data, contract \t\t\t\t\t\tawards, client activity and market intelligence, it highlights emerging trends, investment priorities and opportunities shaping the market.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Social Housing RMI Business Intelligence<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hello, and welcome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First up \u2013 what have we been working on recently? Nothing, it was too hot.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Any news on the social front? No, it was too hot.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Is there anything you want to share with the readers? It’s slightly less hot than it was.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Next week we\u2019re opening up our notices for free, and before you all ask for your money back, I wanted to tell you why. Notices don\u2019t have the currency they once had. Companies will tell you they scour 500 websites looking for notices, but those sites are all repeating the same notices \u2013 which is why, if you don\u2019t buy from us, you\u2019ll probably receive duplicates.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
With the roll-out of PA2023, tenders became a lot more accessible and heralded the new wave of \u2018AI\u2019 built Tender Services \u2013 basically a plug in to Find a Tender with the addition of a few new search filters.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Locarla started collecting client data long before we tackled contract notices. The system we had built lent itself to organising large datasets, and our research team enabled us to go beyond the notices to look for evidence and supporting information. Tenders are easy, award data is not, PA2023 award data \u2013 is definitely not, with 17 notice types.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Our clients require intelligence and insight \u2013 the tender was the start of the journey \u2013 researching the bid is costly and time consuming, and that is what we do best. Our data research team is 25 strong and look at every aspect of the data we add to Locarla. They collect, and clean, thousands of data points daily – working on the largest database of social housing data and information in the world.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The free search has a dedicated page and does not give access to the main system \u2013 the results are shown differently. The search is looking through 500K notices dating back to 2011 and can be searched by; trade, project, client or winner. Everyone can see the notice, only clients can open the full details. The search has been live for awhile and can be accessed via www.locarla.com<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 currently linking to the notice is disabled, this is what we are making live.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
‘Blue links<\/a><\/strong>‘ for all and ‘green links<\/a><\/strong>‘ are behind login so dependent on your licence.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

TSM Survey Company Analysis<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Our team has compiled, analysed, and databased 350 TSM reports to deliver clear, data\u2011driven insights. This year\u2019s analysis reveals how leading survey companies compare \u2011 from organisation reach to respondent share and stock coverage \u2011 capturing shifts in performance and market standing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Accessing TSM data is a simple process \u2013 it is open data. What makes our data set unique is we can attach the repair satisfaction metrics to the contractor doing the work. Assessing how tenants receive a service can indicate the likelihood of the contract being extended. It can also show how a particular contractor is faring across all their contracts for acquisition analysis.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Statistics are drawn from 284 housing organisations that engaged a survey company for TSM data. This view is in \u2018Sample to Stock\u2019 ratio (high\/low). Clients can view the full table here.<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

July League Tables<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Built Environment Contracts \u2013 July 2026 Overview<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
July 2026 saw a clear recovery in overall contract activity, with total value reaching \u00a31.03bn, up sharply from \u00a3400.23m in June. This was the third-highest monthly total of the past year, although activity remained well below the exceptional peaks recorded in January and March.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The increase was driven primarily by Responsive Repairs (\u00a3551.83m) and Planned Works (\u00a3247.84m), which together accounted for around 77% of the month’s total value. Fire Safety also recorded a notable surge to \u00a3131.20m, reaching its highest level in the period. Overall, July points to a stronger market, but the rise was concentrated in a small number of major awards and trades rather than being evenly spread across the sector.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
