Summary of the contracting process

Home Group Limited procured major investment and regeneration works at Chichester Foyer. The project involves refurbishing and remodelling the existing building to create 23 self-contained modern flats: 14 one-bedroom and nine two-bedroom homes. It also covers refurbishment of the Annex, which contains six self-contained flats, together with replacement windows and doors, additional bin and bicycle stores, and extra car parking. The contractor is responsible for designing and constructing the mechanical, electrical and public health installations, as well as structural supports and associated details under the Contractor’s Design Portion. This is a construction works requirement delivered at the Chichester Foyer site in Chichester, for Home Group’s housing and regeneration programme.

The procurement is complete following a below-threshold limited competition with a single completed lot. The contract was awarded to DM Habens (The Builder) Limited, an SME, on 8 July 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 19 October 2027. Its value is £2,945,448.26 excluding VAT, or £3,092,720.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route under the procurement’s stated legal basis. The selected supplier is responsible for the full refurbishment, remodelling, building services design and construction, and structural elements described for the Chichester Foyer development.

This award indicates demand from Home Group for principal contractors able to deliver substantial occupied-building or housing regeneration works as a coordinated design-and-build package. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this type would need construction delivery capacity, experience remodelling existing buildings into self-contained residential accommodation, and the ability to coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and public health work. Relevant capability also includes installing or managing replacement windows and doors, refurbishing annex accommodation, and delivering associated external infrastructure such as bin stores, cycle stores and car parking. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that a business of this scale can be delivered by an established specialist contractor, provided it can manage the full scope and demonstrate reliable project delivery.
