Meeting procurement requirements

Navigating public procurement can be complex—but with Boost, Local Authorities can move forward with confidence. Our fully approved, framework-based approach ensures regulatory compliance, value for money, and streamlined delivery of accommodation solutions that meet urgent housing needs while standing up to scrutiny.
Procurement & Compliance
Procure with confidence

Public procurement represents a significant challenge for many Local Authorities seeking accommodation solutions. The complex regulatory landscape, combined with the need to demonstrate value for money, can create barriers to addressing urgent housing needs effectively.

To simplify this process for our Local Authorities, we hold approval for:

  • Residential accommodation
  • Temporary relocatable accommodation
  • Preferred Tier 1 Contractor for Design & Build contracting services

This approval ensures all our projects meet the stringent procurement standards set by Local Authorities.

Procurement Act 2023 Compliance

Our approach is fully aligned with the Procurement Act 2023, which represents the most significant reform of public procurement in a generation. The Act has introduced new principles focused on public benefit, transparency, integrity, fair treatment of suppliers, and non-discrimination.

Ensuring that our accommodation solutions meet immediate housing needs in compliance with the latest procurement regulations, we incorporate these principles into every aspect of our work. This compliance provides Local Authorities with confidence that our solutions can be procured efficiently and without regulatory concerns.

Value for money and the Green Book

In line with HM Treasury's Green Book guidance, we place value for money at the centre of our offering. Ensuring comprehensive value assessment beyond simple cost considerations, our approach considers the full spectrum of economic, financial, social, and environmental aspects of each project.

Through detailed options appraisals and business cases, we help Local Authorities demonstrate that their accommodation investments represent sound use of public funds. Our solutions are designed to deliver both immediate benefits and long-term value, with clear metrics for measuring outcomes and impact.

Managing public money 2023

The principles outlined in Managing Public Money 2023 guide our approach to working with Local Authorities. We understand the importance of regularity, propriety, transparency, and accountability in public spending decisions.

Our procurement processes are designed to support these principles, providing clear documentation, transparent pricing, and robust reporting mechanisms that help Local Authorities maintain proper financial control and accountability.

Building lasting communities and creating social value

At Boost, our commitment goes beyond providing housing solutions. We are dedicated to creating sustainable communities where individuals and families can thrive. Our approach is centred around creating social value, ensuring that our developments leave a lasting positive impact on the communities we serve.

We integrate social value into every aspect of our work, ensuring that each project contributes to the wider social, economic, and environmental goals of the local area. Our focus is on creating places people love, where residents can build fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable lives. By working closely with Local Authorities, Housing Associations, and Community Organisations, we tailor our solutions to the unique needs and aspirations of each community, ensuring that the impact of our work is felt long after the project is complete.

Framework accessibility

Boost operates within a public sector-founded procurement solution, designed to provide Local Authorities with a fully compliant, competitive route that meets the growing need for high-quality temporary accommodation.

Engagement with Boost is structured through a regulated, pre-approved framework agreement, ensuring full compliance with the Procurement Act. This allows Local Authorities to act with confidence, knowing that every project is subject to audited financial benchmarking, rigorous compliance checks, and structured risk management.

Already used by councils such as the London Borough of Croydon, Liverpool City Council, Lewes & Eastbourne Councils, and West Northamptonshire Council, this model ensures that Local Authorities can work within a trusted, public sector-led framework that maintains full accountability, performance monitoring, and long-term value-for-money assurance.
