Summary of the contracting process

Housing Solutions procured cyclical internal and external decorating works across its housing stock in the South East of England. The scope covered one care home and approximately 400 dwellings, including communal areas. Required activities included surface preparation, associated repairs, painting and decorating, access arrangements, resident liaison and all related works. This is a building painting and decoration works contract, including painting of buildings (CPV 45442100) and decoration work. Housing Solutions, based in Berkshire, is the buying organisation and will use the works across its residential properties and care provision. The requirement suits contractors able to coordinate planned decoration programmes across occupied homes, communal spaces and a care home while managing access, repairs and communication with residents.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Mitie Property Services on 22 July 2026 for £560,000 including the stated contract value, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 1 January 2026. The award covers the full requirement described for the care home and approximately 400 dwellings. The procurement was categorised as works and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Mitie Property Services. The award is active, indicating that the supplier has been selected for delivery during the stated contract period.

This award provides a clear benchmark for contractors targeting Housing Solutions’ future cyclical decoration requirements: the buyer needs a provider capable of delivering both internal and external painting across a sizeable occupied housing portfolio, communal areas and care accommodation. Credible competitors would need strong scheduling and mobilisation capability, reliable teams for surface preparation, repairs and finishing, and the capacity to manage access constraints across many properties. Experience of resident liaison and working safely in occupied homes would be important, as would the ability to coordinate subcontractors or specialist access arrangements where required. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a well-organised regional decorating contractor with housing-maintenance experience could be competitive when this type of work returns to the market.
