Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd is seeking to appoint a contractor for its 2025-30 retrofit programme aimed at upgrading its housing stock in the United Kingdom to meet environmental performance standards. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, and the contract will focus on construction work under a competitive flexible procedure. With a total contract value of £52 million, the opportunity will be spread across two identical contracts, covering regions UKJ and UKK. Interested businesses should note the deadline for expression of interest as 24th November 2025, with an expected contract award by 1st December 2025. The procurement is governed by UK legislation, specifically UKPGA 2023/54, targeting public authority needs.

This tender offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in construction and retrofit works, especially those with experience in sustainable development and environmental upgrades. The project aligns with VIVID's Net Zero Investment Plan, opening avenues for firms skilled in delivering energy-efficient solutions. The procurement is ideal for SMEs and VCSEs aiming to expand their footprint in public sector projects and align with net-zero targets. Contractors will be evaluated on quality and price, with a significant emphasis on delivering high-quality work, making this an attractive opportunity for well-established firms in retrofit and construction domains.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Retrofit Works

Notice Description

VIVID would like to appoint a new contractor(s) to deliver its 2025-30 retrofit programme. We are using our own budgets and Warm Homes: Social Housing Funding (if bid is successful). Our programme is not entirely dependent on securing grant funding. Our programme is informed by our Net Zero Investment Plan which identifies the measures and investment required to get all of our 36,000 homes to EPC C by 2030 and our net zero heat demand targets by 2050. The 2025-30 programme will achieve EPC C for all 3500 VIVID homes that currently don't meet the target. This will be achieved using a fabric first approach.
