Summary of the contracting process

In a recent public procurement process, Homes in Somerset Limited, a public authority under sub-central government, has awarded a contract for Employers Agent Services. The contract, carried out through an open procurement method with below-threshold competition, was awarded on 18th August 2025 to Bailey Partnership (Group) Ltd. This service falls under the 'services' category, specifically targeting structural engineering, building consultancy, and construction-related services. The awarded contract is set to begin on the same date and will extend until 31st July 2027, with a value of £160,000, and potential renewals up to 2030. Located in the UKK region, particularly Somerset, this contract emphasizes projects to remain on target, within budget, and in compliance with safety protocols.
