Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association has established a maintenance framework to supplement its in-house workforce for repairs to homes it owns or manages in Merthyr Tydfil. The work covers responsive repairs and empty-property refurbishment, with planned works also available at the association’s option. It is divided into general trades, electrical work and scaffolding. General trades include plumbing, carpentry and joinery, painting and decorating, flooring, cleaning, drainage, roofing and groundworks; work is allocated according to the trade or skill required. Electrical and scaffolding work form separate specialisms. This is a housing maintenance requirement spanning routine repair calls and work to bring vacant properties back into use, with the framework also providing a route for planned property works.

The open procedure has concluded: the three lots are complete, awards were made on 5 August 2026, and framework contracts were signed on 6 October 2026. The general trades lot was awarded to 20 suppliers for £4 million excluding VAT; electrical work to six suppliers for £2.5 million; and scaffolding to five suppliers for £500,000. The framework contract periods run from 7 October 2026 to 13 September 2030. Each lot was evaluated on quality (30%) and price (70%), with economic and technical selection criteria. The framework permits direct awards or mini-competitions, depending on the value of the work. The published estimates include optional planned works; appointment does not guarantee any supplier a particular volume of work or spend.

This framework demonstrates continuing demand from Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association for trade-specific support with housing repairs, void-property work and, optionally, planned maintenance. A credible future competitor would need to deliver the relevant specialism—general building trades, electrical work or scaffolding—and organise a responsive service capable of supporting the association’s in-house team across properties in Merthyr Tydfil. General-trade providers should be able to cover one or more of the listed repair disciplines, with work assigned according to skills required; specialist electrical and scaffolding capability is relevant to the corresponding lots. The framework attracted multiple appointed suppliers in each area, including many SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors can compete. Quality and price both mattered, with price carrying the greater weighting; providers therefore need sound technical and economic capacity alongside competitive pricing. No particular accreditation is identified in the published criteria.
