Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited is buying an integrated construction and housing property services package for One Vision Housing, delivered across the North West of England. The single service provider is expected to cover responsive repairs, void property works, planned component replacement, adaptations, cyclical works and general refurbishment and improvement. The scope also includes heating breakdown response, servicing and installation, grounds maintenance, communal and window cleaning, mechanical and electrical servicing and repairs, fire and emergency lighting, fire-related works, pest control, warden call systems, asbestos testing and removal, health and safety compliance testing, and new building development. This is a broad construction and property maintenance requirement, classified under CPV 45000000, combining planned, reactive, compliance and development work.

The buyer invited offers through a tender procedure. The tender submission deadline set was 20 June 2018 at midnight, with the contract period running from 21 June 2018 to 21 June 2033. The published procurement method is recorded as ‘Other’, with no further method description. The arrangement is for one service provider rather than separate suppliers for the service areas. The contract has since been modified to increase its value by up to 50% of the original contract value. The stated reason is unforeseen increased development activity and demand after The Sovini Group and its registered provider were appointed Sefton Council’s exclusive affordable housing delivery partner to 2030. The award basis is not set out in the available procurement details.

This opportunity suits an established principal contractor or integrated housing maintenance provider able to manage a wide-ranging, long-term service portfolio through one operating model. Relevant capability includes responsive repairs, voids, planned refurbishment, adaptations, new-build development and cyclical maintenance, alongside grounds and communal cleaning. Suppliers also need practical mechanical and electrical expertise covering heating, fire systems, emergency lighting, general M&E repairs, warden call systems and statutory compliance testing. Experience in asbestos surveying and removal, pest control, health and safety services and coordinated delivery across housing assets would be directly relevant. The requirement is expressly unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a need for substantial capacity, broad in-house or managed specialist coverage and robust contract management.
