Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured kitchen materials, covering kitchen furniture and equipment for its housing-related requirements. The work is classified as goods, with the core requirement described as the supply of kitchen material. Delivery spans the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, the South East and the South West, so the opportunity concerns a broad multi-region supply operation rather than a single local site. Businesses active in kitchen furniture, fitted kitchen components, kitchen equipment or associated material supply are the most relevant potential comparators. The purchasing organisation is Southern Housing, based in London. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant beyond large national suppliers.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 4pm, and the award was made on 31 July 2026. Howden Joinery Limited was selected as supplier for £1,440,000. The awarded contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030. The procurement covered one overall kitchen-material supply requirement across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, the South East and the South West. The published outcome records an active award to Howden Joinery Limited. No separate lot awards or additional evaluation weighting are stated in the procurement details.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of kitchen furniture, kitchen equipment and related materials that serve housing organisations across several English regions. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need dependable access to the required product range, the operational capacity to supply multiple regions, and distribution arrangements capable of supporting a housing buyer over a sustained contract. Experience with framework call-offs would be commercially relevant because this purchase was made through that route. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME and as a voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be met by an organisation of that scale and type. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate consistent fulfilment, geographic reach and reliable stock or sourcing arrangements.
