All about our new Advisory Partnerships

The public sector procurement landscape is constantly evolving. From procurement reform and digital transformation to retrofit, resident engagement and sustainability, our members are navigating a wide range of challenges that call for specialist knowledge, fresh thinking and practical support.

At NHC Procurement, we help members achieve compliant, value-for-money outcomes, but we also know that the strongest support often comes from bringing different perspectives and areas of expertise together. That’s exactly what our Advisory Partner programme is designed to do.

Connecting members with sector expertise

We work with organisations that bring valuable insight, innovation and specialist knowledge to housing and the wider public sector. They complement our in-house expertise and help us connect members with advice, ideas and experience across a broad range of topics.

Whether it’s legal expertise, digital and AI solutions, communications, finance, recruitment, sustainability or professional services, our Advisory Partners help us strengthen the support available to members. Above all, they help members stay informed about emerging challenges, new opportunities and best practice across the sector.

Giving experts a platform to share what they know

For organisations that become Advisory Partners, the programme offers a valuable platform to share knowledge with procurement professionals and senior decision-makers across our network.

Through events such as our Annual Summit, regular member newsletters, thought leadership opportunities, networking and wider sector engagement, Advisory Partners can contribute to important conversations and share expertise that helps our members make informed decisions.

Supporting better outcomes together

We carefully select organisations that share our commitment to improving homes, places and communities. By bringing together housing and public sector organisations, procurement professionals and trusted sector specialists, we’re creating a network where ideas, expertise and experience can be shared for everyone’s benefit.

For members, that means access to a wider range of expertise. For Advisory Partners, it means meaningful engagement with the organisations shaping the future of housing and procurement. For the sector as a whole, it means stronger collaboration and better outcomes for the communities we all serve.

Could your organisation become an Advisory Partner?

We’re always interested in hearing from organisations that can bring valuable insight, innovation and expertise to our membership. If your organisation wants to build stronger connections across housing, the public sector and procurement, share knowledge with sector leaders and contribute to conversations that matter, we’d love to hear from you.
