UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Association Ltd commissioned clerk of works services for the Chesterton Gardens development in Leamington. The requirement covers construction supervision, including oversight of construction activity and support in checking that works are delivered in accordance with the project’s requirements. It is a professional services contract rather than a construction works package or supply contract. The work is tied to Chesterton Gardens in Leamington, making it most relevant to construction consultants, clerk of works practices and firms providing independent site inspection or project monitoring services in the area. The buyer is a housing association operating in the public sector, so experience of working for housing providers or on residential development projects would be relevant when this type of requirement is considered again.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Thornton-Firkin LLP, an SME. Clarion Housing Association Ltd used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a maximum possible end date of 31 July 2030. Its gross value is £80,802.50. The award was made on 3 September 2026 for the single completed lot. The contract is active and can be extended if required. The published outcome shows a focused, below-threshold route rather than an open tender, with one supplier selected for the construction supervision services at Chesterton Gardens.

This outcome demonstrates that Clarion Housing Association Ltd buys clerk of works and construction supervision support for residential development projects through focused, below-threshold competitions. A competitor seeking similar work would need to present a credible construction monitoring service, with personnel able to inspect site activity, oversee workmanship and report clearly to the housing association or project team. Relevant residential construction experience, dependable site presence and the capacity to support a multi-year appointment would strengthen that position. The award to Thornton-Firkin LLP, an SME, indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist practice rather than only by a large national consultancy. Firms with a comparable specialist offer should monitor Clarion’s future requirements in this service area.
