Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes Limited, located at Plumer House, Plymouth, has completed a procurement process for rope access inspections and repairs at Marlborough House. The procurement involved direct engagement without competition, as it fell below the threshold requiring competitive tendering. The contract was awarded to Rappel Limited, an SME based in Ellesmere Port. With a contract value of £49,680 and gross amount of £59,616, the service delivery period begins on 29th September 2025 and ends on 31st August 2026. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically building-inspection services, and was last updated on 5th September 2025. The contract status is marked as active.

This contract award presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building-inspection services, particularly those with capabilities in rope access inspections and repairs. SMEs like Rappel Limited, which can provide specialised inspection services, are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially when they are adept at working with public authorities such as sub-central government organisations. Such opportunities can not only bolster a company's portfolio in niche areas but also establish lasting relationships with public sector entities like Plymouth Community Homes Limited. Successful tendering and delivery of this service can lead to further opportunities in similar contracts within the UK region.
