About the buyer

Red Kite Community Housing manages more than 6,600 homes across south Buckinghamshire, within 15 miles of High Wycombe, and buys as a housing association with its own procurement team. High-value tenders appear on the Central Digital Platform, the successor to Find a Tender, since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect. Lower-value contracts are advertised through Contracts Finder. Spend covers three areas: development, asset management and IT. Trained tenant volunteers sit on a Core Procurement Group, reviewing specifications and interviewing contractors. In financial year 2024/25, 83.04% of invoices were paid within 30 days.

£434bn was the total UK public sector procurement spend in FY 2025/26.

Over the past 5 years, most of Red Kite Community Housing Ltd's contract awards have been in real estate services, agricultural and horticultural services and repair and maintenance.
