Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured building completion works for the Biddulph Road scheme, at Biddulph Road, Croydon, CR2 6QA. The requirement is classified as building completion work and falls within the works category. The named delivery areas are London, the South East, the East Midlands and the West Midlands, with the specific project location identified in Croydon. Southern Housing is the buying organisation. The requirement concerns completion of a housing-related construction project under the PCSA stage, meaning suppliers would need to provide the trades, site management and associated construction delivery needed to bring the development or works package to completion. It is relevant to building contractors and specialist completion contractors able to operate across the stated areas and coordinate delivery at the Croydon site.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Southern Housing used a selective procedure to call off the requirement from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026 at 1pm. The contract was awarded to Life Build Solutions Ltd on 13 July 2026, at a value of £272,277. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 January 2027. The award is recorded as active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published process title describes it as the Biddulph Road, Croydon completion contract PCSA stage. The selected supplier is based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and is itself recorded as an SME.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the procurement demonstrates Southern Housing’s demand for building completion work delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need experience completing construction packages, coordinating multiple trades and managing delivery on a live housing or development site. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller contractor with sufficient operational capacity can be competitive, either directly through the relevant framework or through an established framework partner. Useful capability would include programme control, site supervision, quality assurance, health and safety management, supply-chain coordination and the ability to deliver completion works across London and the surrounding listed regions. Contractors should also be able to evidence comparable completed projects and reliable mobilisation for time-limited works packages.
