Summary of the contracting process

mhs homes group procured foyer concierge services for its housing operations. The requirement is a resident-facing concierge function with a security-services element, classified under CPV 79710000. The service is associated with the buyer’s area in Medway, Kent, while the buyer’s registered address is in Chatham. The procurement covers one completed requirement rather than multiple service lots. This is relevant to organisations providing concierge, foyer management, housing security or related front-of-house services, particularly suppliers able to support residents and maintain a secure, orderly environment in housing settings. The named buyer is mhs homes group, a sub-central public authority. The selected supplier, SERVECO SERVICES LTD, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Nottingham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to SERVECO SERVICES LTD. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £125,000 excluding VAT and £150,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome shows the buyer chose a supplier without a competitive tender, so there is no scored evaluation basis or bid deadline to report. The arrangement is for services rather than goods or works, and the contract covers the full foyer concierge requirement associated with the completed lot.

This outcome indicates that mhs homes group uses an external SME supplier for foyer concierge provision with a security-services classification. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability in staffed concierge operations, housing or residential front-of-house environments, and security-aware service delivery. Practical strengths would include managing foyer activity, supporting residents and visitors, maintaining a safe and orderly setting, and providing dependable cover across the service requirement. Experience of working for housing providers or public authorities would help demonstrate understanding of resident needs, safeguarding expectations, incident handling and operational reporting, provided those capabilities are evidenced in the supplier’s offer. The selected SME also suggests that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor.
