Summary of the contracting process

Islington Council has initiated a procurement process titled "2425-0477: Void Reservicing, Refurbishment, and New Tenancy Repair Works" under the industry category of construction work, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance of buildings. This tender involves selecting contractors to service void properties and conduct major refurbishment works. Located in London, this active procurement process follows a competitive flexible procedure, with expressions of interest due by 8th September 2025. The contracts are estimated to commence on 15th November 2025, with a potential duration of up to 48 months, including an optional extension. The planned procurement is supported by the UK Procurement Act 2023, with bids assessed on cost (40%) and quality (60%), emphasising social value, quality management, health and safety, and communication strategy.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, refurbishment, and property maintenance, particularly those with expertise in handling void properties. As the estimated total contract value reaches £28,000,000 over a maximum of four years, businesses capable of delivering high-quality work with cost-effective solutions can benefit significantly. The competitive nature of the process entails a two-stage assessment, initially through a Procurement Selection Questionnaire followed by tender evaluation, making it an ideal opportunity for firms equipped to demonstrate their capability in the competitive flexible procurement environment. Businesses experienced in managing varying work volumes and priorities in accommodation projects, including temporary housing initiatives, are particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts.
