Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured structural engineering consultancy services for Four Courts. The requirement is for a structural engineer, under CPV 71312000, supporting work delivered across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works or the supply of goods. The buyer is Southern Housing, based in London. The scope is described as structural engineering for Four Courts, so relevant organisations are those able to provide structural assessment, design and engineering consultancy for the buyer’s property or development requirements across multiple English regions. The procurement is categorised as services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Southern Housing used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 13:00. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The contract was awarded to Stantec UK Limited on 7 August 2026 for £378,000 including the stated GBP currency. The award is active. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off process, with the requirement identified as suitable for SMEs. There are no separate lots or published award criteria in the available procurement details. The completed process records one supplier and one awarded contract for the structural engineering consultancy requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Southern Housing for structural engineering consultancy supporting Four Courts across five English regions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a capable structural engineering consultancy team, with the professional expertise to undertake work across housing or property settings and coordinate delivery over a multi-region footprint. The successful route was a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to respond efficiently to call-off competitions would be commercially important. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist practice could be well placed if it can demonstrate sufficient technical capability, geographic coverage, project management and capacity for a substantial, multi-year assignment.
