Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured a principal contractor for fire remediation works at Aura, Vivienne and 59 Oldridge Road. The work is building fire-safety remediation, classified as fire-prevention installation works. The procurement was divided into one lot. The named sites are the locations identified for the works.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Architectural Decorators Limited. Southern Housing used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 20 January 2027. Its gross value is £5,337,322.91. The award is active and the contract is active. The published data gives no evaluation criteria or further detail on how competing suppliers were assessed.

This award shows Southern Housing buys principal-contractor services for fire remediation across housing sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the ability to manage and deliver fire-safety remediation works as principal contractor. The scale of this contract points to a substantial works package, rather than a small, single-task installation. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a business of that size secured the work through limited competition. Suppliers whose experience includes comparable building fire remediation and coordinating delivery across named sites would have relevant evidence to draw on when this buyer next has a similar requirement.
