Summary of the contracting process

Housing 21 procured building works for balcony timber at Freestone Court. The requirement covers builders’ carpentry and joinery installation work, including the provision or installation of timber forming part of the balconies. The work is associated with Housing 21’s housing stock and is delivered at Freestone Court in England. Housing 21 is the buying organisation. The procurement is classified as works rather than goods or general services, making it relevant to carpentry contractors, joinery firms and building contractors with the capability to carry out timber balcony work. The requirement is specific to one identified housing location and concerns practical construction or installation activity rather than design consultancy, routine maintenance or the supply of unrelated building materials.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Housing 21 used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The tender had one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Turner Contracting Ltd, an SME, and signed on 30 July 2026. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £56,384.02 excluding VAT and £67,660.82 including VAT. The award covers the balcony timber works at Freestone Court. The published outcome records one selected supplier and one contract. No award evaluation criteria or weighting are recorded in the procurement information, so the outcome should be understood primarily as evidence of the buyer’s chosen route and awarded requirement.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined Housing 21 requirement for balcony timber works delivered through a below-threshold procurement. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be carpentry, joinery or building contractors able to undertake timber balcony installation and associated builders’ carpentry works at a housing location. A credible supplier would need practical delivery capability for a focused construction project, the capacity to complete work within a short contract period, and the organisational ability to work for a housing provider. Turner Contracting Ltd’s SME status also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only by a large national construction business.
