Summary of the contracting process

mhs homes group procured the supply and fitting of carpets and other floor coverings for its housing operations. The requirement covers carpets, industrial carpeting, floor coverings and associated floor-laying and covering work, combining the supply of materials with installation. Delivery and work are across Kent. This is primarily a goods requirement with an important fitting and installation element, so it is relevant to flooring contractors, carpet suppliers and firms that provide both materials and fitting services. The buyer is mhs homes group, a public authority based in Chatham. The scope is suited to businesses able to provide standard and industrial carpet products, other floor-covering materials and the practical labour needed to install them across the buyer’s operating area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Home Direct Carpets Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed and started on 14 September 2026, ending on 8 September 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The award covers the single carpet and floor-coverings requirement. The contracting route indicates that the buyer used a non-competitive below-threshold process rather than inviting competing tenders. The outcome provides a clear reference point for the type of requirement, purchasing route and contract scale used by mhs homes group for flooring supply and fitting in Kent. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in this field.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to combine dependable access to carpet and floor-covering materials with the practical capability to measure, supply and fit them. Relevant experience would include carpet installation, industrial carpeting, floor laying and covering work, with the capacity to serve housing-related premises across Kent. Suppliers should be able to manage the full chain from product selection and ordering through to installation, finishing and completion of individual jobs. The award also shows that an SME flooring business can satisfy this buyer’s requirement through a below-threshold direct purchasing route. Businesses tracking this buyer should therefore position themselves as responsive local or regional flooring providers with suitable product range, installation teams and the capacity to deliver a complete supply-and-fit service.
