Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Group appointed an independent third-party auditing contractor for building safety compliance. The service covers gas safety inspections, electrical safety inspections, renewable heating systems, solid-fuel and oil-fired heating systems, asbestos, Legionella risk assessments, passenger lift maintenance, fumes investigations and DSEAR assessments. This is a multi-disciplinary technical testing, consultancy and auditing requirement, with related work in gas appliance maintenance, lift maintenance, electrical services and asbestos services. Delivery is centred on Solihull and extends across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. The buyer is Platform Housing Group, based in Solihull. The requirement is categorised as services and combines compliance auditing with inspections and assessments across housing-related building safety systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Platform Housing Group selected Morgan Lambert LTD, whose award became active on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £992,439.53, with a contract running from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2031. Bids were due by 16 June 2026 at 2pm. The process used a tender procedure for services and resulted in one award covering the stated audit and inspection requirements. The contract period is the same as the awarded period. The outcome establishes a substantial, multi-year arrangement for independent compliance auditing across several technical disciplines and geographical areas. The award is active; the procurement itself is complete, so this is an awarded opportunity rather than a current route to submit a bid.

For a future opportunity with this buyer, credible suppliers would need to combine independent auditing with practical technical competence across gas, electrical, renewable, solid-fuel and oil-fired heating, asbestos, Legionella, lifts, fumes and DSEAR. The breadth of the requirement favours an established specialist organisation, or a carefully managed consortium, with access to suitably qualified auditors and inspectors across multiple disciplines. Delivery capability must extend beyond a single local site, covering housing assets in the United Kingdom and the other stated territories and locations. Relevant experience in building safety compliance, technical testing, risk assessment, audit reporting and regulatory assurance would help demonstrate suitability. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate consistent standards, evidence-based findings and remedial recommendations across a large, geographically dispersed housing portfolio.
