Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

mhs homes group procured broadband lines for 15 schemes as part of its digital switchover. The requirement covers broadband connectivity, including internet and computer network services, for schemes in South East England. This is a service requirement, despite the procurement being categorised as goods. The procurement was handled by mhs homes group, a housing group based in Chatham. The broadband lines support the group’s schemes through the digital switchover; no further technical specification or line-by-line breakdown is available in the published requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Wavenet Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 24 August 2026, with an awarded value of £40,608. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 December 2030. The tender deadline was 23 August 2026. The requirement covers 15 schemes and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation basis or further participation requirements.

This award demonstrates mhs homes group’s demand for broadband connectivity across its housing schemes, using a framework call-off route. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide reliable broadband lines suitable for multiple sites and support a digital switchover across a portfolio of schemes. The existing contract provides evidence of a multi-year service requirement rather than a one-off connection, so credibility will depend on the ability to maintain connectivity across the contract term and serve the relevant locations in South East England. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller providers may be relevant competitors where they can demonstrate the capacity to deliver and support a multi-site service.
