Summary of the contracting process

Hafod Housing Association procured maintenance and servicing for air-conditioning systems, air-handling units, kitchen extraction systems, and smoke and fire dampers. The work falls within building-services maintenance, including damper repair and maintenance (CPV 50222100). It covers properties in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, within Hafod’s housing portfolio. These buildings are occupied by general-needs residents, older people and residents who are vulnerable or require additional support, so the service involves working carefully in occupied residential settings. The buyer is Hafod Housing Association, a housing association based in Cardiff. The requirement allowed for properties to be added or removed during the contract to reflect changes in Hafod’s property portfolio. The contracted service also includes electronic ordering, electronic payment and permitted electronic invoicing arrangements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. One lot was used, although its published status is cancelled; the associated award is active and the contract is active. Five bids were received, including three from small and medium-sized enterprises, and all five were submitted electronically. The tender deadline was 31 January 2025 at 12:00, bids were opened at 12:30 that day, and the award period began at 12:30. The award was made to VECTOR COMPLIANCE LTD, an SME, and the contract was signed on 1 March 2025. The contract value is £122,802, against an estimated procurement value of £400,000. The contract period is 1,800 days, with an initial one-year term and options for two further two-year extensions. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, contractor demonstrations at 10% and price at 30%.

This award shows demand from a housing association for a supplier able to maintain multiple types of mechanical and fire-safety equipment across occupied residential properties. A credible competitor would need qualified and experienced engineers covering air conditioning, air-handling units, kitchen extraction, smoke dampers and fire dampers, with the competence to inspect, service, repair and maintain these systems. Delivery experience in housing or other occupied premises would be relevant, particularly where residents include older, vulnerable or supported people and visits must be managed sensitively. Suppliers would also need capacity to respond across a changing property portfolio, as properties may be added or removed during the contract. The competition attracted five electronic bids, including three from SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist compliance and building-services contractors.
