Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Croydon commissioned specialist building consultancy services to help shape the future procurement and commissioning of its major Housing Revenue Account capital works programme. The work covers replacement arrangements for general housing capital works, mechanical and electrical works, and cyclical works. The consultancy is intended to develop a robust delivery model for major capital works, covering the commercial structure, governance framework, procurement strategy and performance regime. It must build on earlier strategic reviews and internal audit findings, while aligning the future approach with statutory, regulatory and corporate requirements. The services are for activity associated with Croydon’s housing function and are delivered in the UK. The procurement is categorised as services, including building consultancy and building services consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Four bids reached the final stage, including four from SMEs. Faithorn Farrell Timms LLP was selected on 10 June 2026. The awarded value is £76,410.60 excluding VAT and £91,692.72 including VAT. The awarded contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 September 2027, with a renewal option described as six months and a maximum extent date of 10 March 2028. There was one lot. The tender enquiry deadline was 15 April 2026 at 12:00 and the bid deadline was 22 April 2026 at 12:00. Award criteria were set out in the tender documents, with electronic submission allowed.

This procurement demonstrates demand for specialist advisers who can help a local authority redesign the commercial and operating model for long-term housing capital works. A credible competitor would need experience in building consultancy and building services consultancy, particularly across major works, mechanical and electrical programmes and cyclical maintenance. Relevant capability includes strategic review, procurement and commissioning design, delivery-model appraisal, commercial structuring, governance, performance management and support for compliant public-sector decision-making. The requirement also favours firms able to translate internal audit findings into a future-proofed service model and align recommendations with statutory, regulatory and corporate obligations. The award to an SME shows that a specialist consultancy can compete for this scale of advisory commission, provided it can demonstrate the necessary technical expertise and public-sector procurement experience.
