L&Q Housing Trust awarded a contract to Altair Consultancy & Advisory Services Ltd for an externally facilitated, comprehensive governance review.

The review was commissioned following a recent regulatory inspection that produced a V2 - G2 - C2 grading and identified areas requiring improvement.

It formed an early, accelerated instance of L&Q’s triennial governance review (the last review was completed in 2023) and was required to provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to strengthen governance at Board, Committee and internal governance-group levels, ensure alignment with strategic priorities, embed resident accountability through the developing Assembly model, and maintain regulatory compliance while supporting L&Q’s transition into its next five-year strategy period from April 2026.

The contract specified a provider with proven expertise in social housing governance and experience of large, complex organisations, and required commencement no later than 20 October 2025, with initial observations and interviews in November, document review and analysis in November–December, and delivery of the final report and recommendations by early February 2026.
