Summary of the contracting process

Wandle Housing Association Limited procured mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) consultancy services for three Hidden Homes projects. The projects are named St Louis, Balham and Durham, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the wider business and professional consultancy services category. The appointed consultant was COUCH PERRY & WILKES LLP, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Solihull. The work was arranged as a single completed lot and supports the design or development of housing projects described as Hidden Homes. Businesses with relevant MEP consultancy capability, particularly those serving housing providers and multi-site residential developments, would find this procurement most relevant. The buyer is Wandle Housing Association Limited, a London-based housing association.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Wandle Housing Association Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. COUCH PERRY & WILKES LLP received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 July 2025, runs from 28 July 2025 to 28 October 2025, and has an awarded value of £39,200 excluding VAT, or £47,040 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date is not separately recorded, although the contract was signed on 1 July 2025. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive process; the published route was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Wandle Housing Association Limited for specialist MEP consultancy supporting several residential housing projects. A credible future competitor would need to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing consultancy services suitable for housing development or refurbishment work, and be able to support projects at multiple named locations. The requirement is small enough to have been delivered by an SME, indicating that a specialist consultancy may be able to compete without the scale of a major multidisciplinary firm. Relevant firms should be able to show practical experience advising housing associations or comparable residential clients, coordinating MEP requirements across several projects, and delivering professional consultancy outputs within a defined, short-term engagement. Familiarity with the buyer’s Hidden Homes programme and its project locations would also be commercially useful.
