Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process handled by Empower Housing Association Limited focuses on a Bathrooms Replacement programme and additional works for eight properties in the North West region of the UK. This process, classified under 'Refurbishment work', falls within the works category of the industry. The tender involved an award procedure executed without prior public advertisement, with the process initiated on 11th October 2024 and bids concluded by 14th January 2025. Although the lot status was eventually cancelled, the contract was successfully awarded to the supplier Speakman, with the contract being signed on 5th March 2025 for a value of £73,241. The procurement employed electronic bidding, was limited to four selected contractors from the Association’s approved list, and did not fit within the typical scope of public advertising regulations.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in refurbishment and construction, particularly those in the North West of England. The selection criteria focused on price, making it an attractive proposition for companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), seeking to expand their workload in public sector contracts. Companies experienced in refurbishment works, and part of pre-approved contractor lists, would have found this contract opportunity viable. The successful award to an SME like Speakman showcases the potential for smaller entities to grow by aligning with regional procurement needs and taking advantage of targeted opportunities without the need for extensive public competition.
