Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council sought a service provider for comprehensive void property management and preferred energy supplier services across its housing portfolio. The requirement covered all void houses and re-lets, including Homeless Person Unit voids, with the number of properties varying according to housing demand, lettings and portfolio size. The service includes energy management and related services, including energy meter provision or management. Delivery was required across Renfrewshire, with the council based in Paisley. The procurement was for services and was intended to support the management of properties between tenancies, while helping control energy arrangements for incoming tenants. Climate change awareness and action to address organisational emissions formed part of the requirement.

The procurement was run as a single-lot open procedure, with written submissions in English and variants not allowed. It was discontinued and the award outcome was recorded as unsuccessful. The tender deadline and bid opening were 6 September 2024 at noon, following an amendment that allowed more time; bids had to remain valid until 3 February 2025. The intended contract duration was 1,440 days, described as four years with three optional 12-month extensions. Evaluation placed 20% on price and 80% on quality, covering service delivery, contract administration, energy management, tenant tariff reduction, added value, performance, community benefits, Fair Work First, cyber security, authentication, technology, integration and service management.

This requirement indicates demand from a local authority for an integrated void-property and energy service rather than a narrow energy supply arrangement. A credible future competitor would need to manage void and re-let workflows across a changing housing portfolio, coordinate preferred energy arrangements and understand energy metering. Strong service management, contract administration and tenant-focused tariff control would be central capabilities. The buyer also expected evidence of climate-change awareness and action on emissions, alongside effective cyber security, authentication, technology and system integration. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate fair work practices, community benefits and reliable performance management, and to provide robust health and safety, insurance, waste-carrier, data-processing, equalities, prompt-payment and subcontractor documentation.
