Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing, a prominent body governed by public law responsible for housing and community amenities in the United Kingdom, recently completed their procurement process for internal and external decorations with cleaning and repairs, focusing on the Decoration work category, covering both the East and West regions. The procurement process, originally initiated in 2025, progressed to the award stage on 11th February 2026, following the open procedure method under the legal framework of CELEX. Initially planned to conclude on 24th March 2025, the tender deadline was extended twice, with final submissions set for 8th April 2025. The awarded contracts, each valued at approximately £64 million, were signed on 8th July 2025, with The AD Construction Group (Architectural Decorators Ltd) and CLC Contractors Limited being the suppliers for the East and West region contracts, respectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the Decoration work industry, particularly those specialising in substantial cleaning, repair, and decoration projects over extended periods. SMEs, especially those experienced in sustainable contract delivery, resident-focused projects, and detailed reporting, might find these contracts beneficial for business expansion due to Southern Housing’s detailed award criteria that balance quality and price considerations. The open competition alongside the potential for contract duration to extend up to an additional seven years provides further room for growth for qualified firms looking to establish themselves within or expand their operations in the UK decoration market. Suppliers with proficiency in managing electronic submissions and meeting quality, sustainability, and mobilisation standards will be well-suited to secure similar contracts in future procurement processes.
