Summary of the contracting process

Aster Group Limited, through its subsidiary Central & Cecil Housing Trust, is procuring property safety maintenance for Grace House, a housing scheme at 26 Lodge Road, London. The work covers servicing, maintenance, repairs and remedial actions for communal heating plant, fire-safety equipment, communal mechanical and electrical equipment, and water-safety management. This is a building maintenance services contract focused on keeping shared building systems and safety equipment in working order at a residential property. The awarded work is delivered at Grace House in London; the wider tender records London and other English regions as delivery areas, but the award is specifically associated with London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to NRT Building Services Ltd. The award is dated 28 September 2026, with a value of £1,906,238 excluding VAT (£2,287,486 including VAT). The award period is 4 January 2027 to 31 December 2031, with two one-year extension options, taking the stated maximum extent to 31 December 2033. The open competition used a competitive flexible procedure. Three bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%; bidders were assessed on financial stability, good standing, technical and professional ability, and relevant experience and expertise. The procurement included a site visit and a procurement-specific questionnaire.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Aster Group, this award demonstrates demand for integrated property-safety maintenance at a residential scheme: communal heating, fire-safety systems, communal mechanical and electrical equipment, and water safety all sit within one requirement. A credible competitor would need to show the technical and professional ability to service and repair these systems, deliver remedial actions, and manage safety-critical work in an occupied housing environment. The buyer assessed financial stability and standing alongside relevant experience and expertise, and used a site visit to test whether quality proposals could be delivered in practice. The contract combined several disciplines at one London site and was evaluated primarily on quality, so suppliers should be able to evidence a robust delivery approach as well as competitive pricing.
