Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited is initiating a public procurement process under the "Strategic Contractors" project, currently in the planning stage. The tender aims to engage a range of contractors for a long-term partnership covering multiple workstreams such as kitchens, bathrooms, roofs, and various repair and maintenance services. This initiative is scheduled to proceed with pre-market engagement events in October 2025 at locations in Lincoln, Leicester, and Bromsgrove. These events will include presentations and "speed dating" sessions to discuss potential workstreams, support future tender developments, and facilitate interaction with potential contractors. The engagement phase is set to conclude by 28 November 2025. The procurement falls under the works category, and the contract period is expected to start on 1 September 2026, with potential extensions to 2038.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in building construction, installation work, and refurbishment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the procurement's suitability criteria. The approach ensures ample opportunity for businesses to establish long-term collaborative contracts with Platform Housing Limited, expanding their clientele and entering new geographical markets. Companies focusing on repair and maintenance services, retrofit projects, and fire safety improvements will find this an ideal opportunity to grow their operations through a comprehensive contract with a well-known public authority entity.
