Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured building work to construct five houses at Farm Close. This is a residential construction project, classified as construction work for houses (CPV 45211100). The recorded delivery areas span the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West; the project title identifies Farm Close as the site. The buyer is Southern Housing. The requirement is specifically for building five houses, rather than a general housing maintenance or property-services contract. The award confirms demand for a small residential development delivered for a housing provider, with work covering the construction of the homes.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Southern Housing used a limited procedure described as competitive quotation below threshold. The submission deadline was 21 March 2025 at 13:00. BONDS BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS LIMITED was selected, with an award dated 16 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,601,593.56. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 16 October 2027. The process was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are recorded, and the procurement data gives no evaluation criteria beyond the competitive quotation method.

This award shows Southern Housing commissioning a five-house residential build at a scale suited to a small or medium-sized construction business. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity and experience to deliver a small housing development as a complete building project, rather than only supplying maintenance or individual trades. The successful supplier was itself identified as an SME, evidence that a smaller contractor can deliver this type of work for the buyer. The procurement route was competitive quotation below threshold, so firms seeking comparable Southern Housing work should be equipped to respond to quotation-based competitions. The requirement is specifically house construction for this buyer; relevant residential building delivery is more pertinent than unrelated construction services.
