Summary of the contracting process

Warwick District Council procured a single works contract for responsive repairs and void property maintenance across its housing stock in the Warwick district. The requirement covers repairs reported by residents, repairs and maintenance to empty properties, building installation work, and related repair and maintenance services. It also includes workstreams for building safety and statutory compliance, legal disrepair claims, Housing Health and Safety Rating System hazards, damp and mould, and requirements associated with Awaab’s Law. The service is intended to improve repair and void maintenance outcomes, meet the Regulator of Social Housing’s Consumer Standards, support customer satisfaction, and provide comprehensive records and evidence of compliance. The arrangement is designed to support efficient, effective and future-focused delivery of all specified workstreams.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CARDO (CENTRAL) LIMITED on 29 July 2026. It used a two-stage competitive flexible procedure, with shortlisted suppliers invited to tender and possible negotiation after initial tenders. Six valid final-stage bids were received. The estimated procurement value was £110 million excluding VAT and £132 million including VAT. The award value was £125 million excluding VAT and £150 million including VAT. The contract is due to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2031, with two potential five-year extensions by mutual agreement, giving a maximum end date of 30 November 2041. Evaluation was based on quality at 50%, price at 40% and corporate social responsibility at 10%.

This award indicates substantial, long-term demand from Warwick District Council for an integrated social housing repairs and maintenance provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven experience delivering responsive repairs, void property works and building installation services at housing-stock scale, with reliable mobilisation and the capacity to meet agreed response and completion times. Strong capability in building safety, statutory compliance, damp and mould, legal disrepair and Housing Health and Safety Rating System hazards would be important, alongside systems for handling customer contact, satisfaction, records and audit evidence. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate compliance-focused service management, effective documentation for regulatory assurance, value-for-money delivery, innovation and a credible approach to corporate social responsibility.
