## Summary

mhs homes group procured external decoration, painting and repair works for properties in the South East of England. The scope covers roof-covering work, external decoration, painting, repair, overhaul and refurbishment. This is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or professional services contract, suited to contractors able to manage building repair and finishing activities across the buyer’s housing stock. The buying organisation is mhs homes group, based in Chatham, Kent. The requirement combines practical repair with external improvement and refurbishment, so relevant suppliers are likely to be general building, roofing, painting and decorating contractors, or coordinated teams able to deliver these activities together. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. mhs homes group used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to ARMOUR HART GROUP LTD on 18 May 2026 for £1,000,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 8 June 2026 to 7 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00. The award is active. The procurement was classified primarily as roof-covering work, with additional classifications for decoration and overhaul or refurbishment work. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £1,000,000. The selected supplier is identified as an SME. The award information records one supplier and one contract requirement covering the South East of England.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a substantial, concentrated requirement for external housing maintenance and improvement delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability across roofing, external painting and decoration, repairs, overhaul and refurbishment, rather than a narrow single-trade offer. It would also need to coordinate several work types reliably across the South East and demonstrate the capacity to deliver a sizeable package within a defined delivery window. The buyer’s stated SME suitability indicates that smaller contractors may be well placed where they can evidence sufficient operational capacity, relevant building maintenance experience, competent site management and the ability to provide consistent workmanship across multiple properties. Framework access and experience with call-off contracts would also be commercially relevant.
