Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured kitchen and bathroom refurbishment and associated planned and reactive works (CPV 45000000, construction work) for its housing stock. The programme is intended to bring kitchens and bathrooms in council properties up to Decent Homes and Housing Health and Safety Rating System standards, including work on void properties before they are re-let. Delivery covers Leicester management areas: Beaumont Leys, Central and New Parks, and Braunstone, Humberstone and Saffron. The requirement supplements the Council’s direct service organisation and supports the maintenance of housing stock and the return of empty homes to use. It is a works procurement for contractors able to manage refurbishment activity across defined housing areas and respond to planned and reactive requirements.

The procurement is complete and both lots were awarded. An open procedure was used, with a framework allowing direct awards and mini-competitions. The award date was 20 January 2026. Lot A, covering Beaumont Leys, Central and New Parks, was awarded to UK Gas Services Limited for £12.5 million excluding VAT (£15 million including VAT). Lot B, covering Braunstone, Humberstone and Saffron, was awarded to GAP Property Services (Leicester) Limited on the same value. Both contracts were signed and are active. Lot A was signed on 27 March 2026 and Lot B on 10 March 2026. Each contract runs to 1 March 2028, with extensions available to 1 March 2030. Each lot was evaluated on price at 70% and quality method statement at 30%.

This requirement demonstrates substantial recurring demand from Leicester City Council for housing refurbishment contractors able to deliver kitchen and bathroom upgrades across multiple management areas, including planned programmes and reactive work in void properties. Suppliers need the operational capacity to manage a sizeable local housing workload, coordinate directly with the Council’s housing service, and maintain reliable supervision and administration. Credibility also depends on delivering good customer care, consistent workmanship and materials, effective communication, and robust health and safety controls. Environmental performance and control of work duration are part of the expected service outcomes. The procurement attracted eight valid bids for each lot, including seven small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that capable SMEs can compete alongside larger contractors. A future supplier would need to evidence reliable delivery against these quality measures.
