Summary of the contracting process

Connexus Homes Limited procured subcontractor support for its in-house repairs function, supplementing internal delivery with additional capacity, specialist trade skills and business continuity. The requirement covers responsive housing repairs, void property works, roofing, and specialist cleaning and clearance. It is divided between Shropshire and Herefordshire: repairs and voids work in both areas, roofing in both areas, and specialist cleaning and clearance in both areas. The repairs and voids work includes building repairs and installations such as electrical, plumbing, plastering, carpentry, doors and windows, flooring, painting and glazing. The roofing work covers roof tiling, repair and maintenance. The cleaning and clearance work covers site clearance, cleaning and sanitation, including accommodation cleaning. Connexus Homes Limited is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and eight contracts were awarded through an open competitive flexible procedure, with each area assessed separately. GB Group (Corporate) Limited was awarded the Shropshire and Herefordshire repairs contracts at £3,500,000 gross each, and the corresponding voids contracts at £1,850,000 gross each. Specialised Group Ltd trading as SSR Roofing won the Shropshire and Herefordshire roofing contracts at £2,150,000 gross each. Rigford Ltd won the Shropshire and Herefordshire specialist cleaning and clearance contracts at £162,500 gross each. All awards were dated 3 March 2026. The contracts were signed between 28 May and 8 June 2026, with periods beginning between 29 May and 9 June 2026 and ending between 28 May and 8 June 2029. Each has options for two further one-year extensions, subject to satisfactory annual performance reviews. Evaluation used price at 50%, written-submission quality at 35% and presentation quality at 15%.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from a housing provider for subcontractors able to support an in-house repairs operation across Shropshire and Herefordshire. Relevant suppliers include multi-trade building contractors covering responsive repairs and voids, specialist roofing firms, and cleaning and clearance businesses. Credible competitors would need capacity to deliver work reliably across the relevant geography, alongside practical trade expertise matching the required services. The evaluation shows that price matters, but quality evidence and the ability to present the proposed approach are also significant. Contract performance was linked to cost control, snag-free post-inspection completions and urgent repair response times for the repairs work. This indicates that future suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable delivery, measurable workmanship and responsive operational management. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
