Summary of the contracting process

mhs homes group commissioned a mass stock condition survey covering its property stock in South East England. The requirement is for professional surveying services, including building surveys and building inspections, to assess the condition of buildings at scale. The main work category is architectural, engineering and surveying services, with building surveying and building-inspection services also included (CPV 71250000). This is a service contract rather than a construction or supply requirement. It is relevant to firms with the technical resources to plan and deliver large-scale property condition assessments across the South East, particularly surveying practices experienced in inspecting multiple buildings and producing consistent condition data for a housing organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The stated procurement value was £1,000,000. Ridge and Partners LLP received the award, valued at £1,000,000, on 1 April 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and covers the full mass stock condition survey requirement. mhs homes group identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the appointed supplier is a large organisation. The published information does not set out a separate price or quality weighting for evaluation.

This award demonstrates demand from mhs homes group for substantial, repeatable stock condition surveying across the South East. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capacity to survey property portfolios at scale, coordinate field teams and maintain consistent inspection standards across many buildings. Relevant capability includes building surveying, structured condition assessment, building inspection and the production of reliable findings that a housing organisation can use for asset planning. Experience delivering work for housing providers or comparable property portfolios would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a well-organised specialist practice may be competitive, provided it can demonstrate sufficient operational capacity and access to the relevant framework route.
