Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured waste management services through a pilot programme for void properties, meaning homes that are empty between occupancies. The requirement is categorised as refuse and waste-related services and covers delivery activity across several English regions, including the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, the South East and the South West. Southern Housing is the buying organisation. The appointed service concerns managing waste associated with its void-property programme rather than construction, repairs or general facilities management. It is therefore relevant to waste management operators able to collect, handle and manage refuse arising from empty housing stock across a geographically broad operating area. Businesses focused solely on unrelated housing services, building works or general cleaning are less closely aligned with this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. RECONOMY (UK) LIMITED was selected as the supplier on 11 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and has a gross value of £144,000. It covers one lot for the waste management pilot programme for void properties. The award is active and the contract is active. The route used was direct award without competition, rather than an open tender. The published outcome shows Southern Housing buying refuse and waste-related services from a large supplier for activity across the stated English regions. No separate award values or additional suppliers are identified.

This award is useful market evidence for waste management businesses that serve housing providers and can handle the practical demands of empty-property waste. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need operational capacity across London, the East Midlands, the West Midlands, the South East and the South West, or a delivery model and partner network able to cover those areas. The work calls for dependable refuse and waste-related service delivery linked to void homes, so relevant experience should include coordinating collections and managing waste generated during housing turnaround activity. RECONOMY (UK) LIMITED’s selection, as a large supplier, indicates that Southern Housing’s requirement can suit an operator with established resources, broad geographic reach and the capacity to support a multi-region housing portfolio.
