## Summary

Southern Housing procured mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy services under the requirement titled Four Courts M&E Consultants. The work is classified as mechanical and electrical engineering services and falls within the services category. Delivery covers five areas of England: the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, the South East and the South West. The requirement is therefore suited to consultancies able to support projects across a broad geographic footprint rather than a single local site. Southern Housing is the buying organisation. The published scope identifies the requirement as M&E consultancy, without further description of particular disciplines, buildings, outputs or technical tasks.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award was made on 18 August 2026 to CALFORDSEADEN LLP, an SME, at an awarded value of £400,000. The overall estimated procurement value was also £400,000. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots are identified, so the award covers the requirement as a whole.

For competitors, this award is evidence that Southern Housing buys M&E consultancy through framework call-offs and that the requirement can be delivered by an SME. Firms best placed for a future equivalent requirement would have established mechanical and electrical engineering consultancy capability, experience of advising a housing organisation, and the operational capacity to work across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West. Framework participation or access to an applicable framework route would be commercially important, since this procurement was conducted as a framework call-off rather than as an open standalone tender. Regional coverage, dependable consultant availability and the ability to manage a multi-area commission would strengthen a supplier’s credibility.
