Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing, following its recent merger with Optivo and Southern Housing Group, has announced an upcoming market engagement exercise for its Capital Works Programme, spanning from 2026 to 2044. This initiative falls under the 'refurbishment work' category and will encompass various types of housing improvement projects such as kitchen and bathroom installations, roofing, windows, doors, and retrofit measures, with notable provision for fire safety and asbestos-related works. This project, with an estimated value of £1.7 billion, aims to consolidate and optimise contracts and geographic coverage across London, the South East, the Midlands, and the Isle of Wight. The current procurement stage is 'planned,' with detailed documentation and questionnaires being issued to gain market insight and feedback, leading to a formal tender process set to commence on 5th February 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms with expertise in housing refurbishment and construction work. Businesses specialising in kitchen and bathroom installations, roofing, windows, doors, and those with capabilities in modern retrofit measures will find the project scope fits well within their service offerings. The initiative not only aims to consolidate contracts but also seeks to create a collaborative and integrated supply chain, providing financial savings and enhanced guarantees. Existing contractors in the social housing sector, as well as new entrants, are encouraged to participate, benefiting from early engagement and the potential to shape procurement strategies, ensuring alignment of expectations and innovative solutions. This project is ideal for businesses committed to delivering high-quality housing refurbishments and keen on forming long-term partnerships based on performance-linked incentives.
