UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured employer’s agent services for its Biddulph Road development in Croydon, CR2 6QA. The requirement falls within construction consultancy services and concerns professional oversight and representation for the employer during the development. The named buying organisation is Southern Housing, a public authority based in London. The procurement covers activity associated with the Biddulph Road site and records delivery coverage across London, the South East, the South West, the East Midlands and the West Midlands. This is a consultancy appointment rather than a construction works contract or supply of materials. Businesses whose work includes employer’s agent duties, construction project consultancy and client-side support for housing development projects are the closest fit. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gardner Partnership. Southern Housing used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award was made on 3 June 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 3 June 2026 to 30 November 2029. Its gross value is £100,500. The award covers construction consultancy services for the single employer’s agent requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information records the selected supplier and the agreed contract period and value; it does not set out a scored evaluation basis or competing tender process. Gardner Partnership is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award demonstrates demand from Southern Housing for an external employer’s agent on a housing development in Croydon, with a substantial multi-year service requirement. A business targeting similar work for this buyer would need credible construction consultancy capability focused on acting for the employer, coordinating development activity and providing client-side oversight. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a specialist consultancy rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm. Relevant competitors should be able to show experience of employer’s agent assignments and housing or development projects, with sufficient professional capacity to support the client throughout a long contract period. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also indicates a procurement route worth monitoring for comparable requirements.
