## Summary

mhs homes group commissioned consultancy for Balfour Court, covering structural engineering and building consultancy services. The work is for the buyer’s housing property in Chatham, Kent. The procurement is a single consultancy requirement rather than a set of separately described service packages. Its scope is identified as consultancy for Balfour Court, with the service categories indicating structural engineering and broader building advice. The selected firm, Faithorn Farrell Timms LLP, is a Manchester-based consultancy. The requirement is relevant to firms providing building consultancy and structural engineering advice for housing or property projects in the Chatham area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Faithorn Farrell Timms LLP through a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its stated value is £56,646.91 excluding VAT and £67,976.29 including VAT. The process was arranged as one lot. The published procurement data does not describe an evaluation or scoring basis: the route was a non-competitive direct award. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The stated services are structural engineering and building consultancy for Balfour Court, with delivery in Chatham, Kent.

This award shows demand from mhs homes group for specialist building consultancy and structural engineering input on a housing property in Chatham. Firms seeking comparable future work with this buyer would need credible capability in both structural engineering and broader building consultancy, and the ability to advise on a specific existing property rather than only delivering general design or construction services. Faithorn Farrell Timms LLP, an SME consultancy, was selected, showing that a smaller specialist firm can undertake a requirement of this scale. The direct award route means this procurement does not establish a competitive scoring model or published selection criteria to emulate; suppliers should instead be able to demonstrate relevant technical expertise, suitable capacity and experience advising on comparable housing or building projects.
