South East Consortium (SEC) is a central purchasing body. We are a not for profit organisation providing services relating to public procurement but are specifically created to support the housing sector.

Inner Circle’s Housing Team is at the forefront of innovative projects right across the UK aiming to solve the housing crisis. 

We’re operating in a post-pandemic, climate emergency world where inadequate housing is increasingly understood to be closely connected to everything from education to mental health to employment. The market is not delivering the housing communities need, so if local authorities are going to make a long-term difference to the other issues faced by local communities, they once again need to see housing as a core activity. 

We’ve learned that the Councils that have done the most to tackle the housing crisis have a clear corporate commitment to improve housing for local people, understand their local housing market, set clear objectives and invest in the right mixture of interventions to yield the best outcomes for their specific communities. At Inner Circle, we support Council leadership teams to work through every stage of that process. We also help establish new delivery structures, such as in-house delivery teams that break down departmental silos or council-owned housing companies that act as developers for the public good. 

What makes us unique is that our strategic advice is rooted in hands-on experience of delivery on the ground. We manage a raft of major housing projects across the country, from a town extension in Cornwall to several estate regeneration projects in London, from cutting edge green retrofit programmes to whole town renewable energy projects, from town centre developments bringing new life into market towns to county-wide extra-care programmes. 

We pride ourselves in unlocking the trickiest projects and making progress where others have failed. Why do we do it? Put simply, we love it! We’ve got an amazing, dedicated and diverse team of people who all really get a kick out of tackling social problems and making a real difference to local communities. 

We are driving forward the reimagining of the public sector at Inner Circle and are proud to build a movement of like-minded civic and community leaders to design and deliver better cities, towns and places.

We tackle knotty problems head-on, by challenging, cooperating, co-learning and co-designing. Our client partnerships are based on mutual ambition to re-imagine services that can work in a preventative manner, grow shared local prosperity and build a trusted public sector.
