Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Housing 21, concerns a timber fencing project at Robert Smith Court, summarised under the award and contract stages. Housing 21, a central government public authority based in Birmingham, aimed to procure erection services for the fence through a direct method, below threshold, without competition. The contract, awarded to T M Browne Ltd, was signed on 24th October 2025, with the period running from 27th October 2025 to 30th January 2026. This project engages the works category, with delivery locations spanning multiple regions in the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, reflecting a significant national footprint.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction services and specifically in fencing and related infrastructure projects. Given the direct procurement method employed, it exemplifies an approach suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) such as T M Browne Ltd. The ability to engage in contracts without competition could be particularly advantageous for businesses focusing on niche services or those able to offer competitive pricing for targeted projects. Companies in the timber and construction industries that can deliver quality fencing solutions across multiple UK regions would be well-equipped to engage in similar future tender opportunities, allowing for expansion and catering to national projects.
