Summary of the contracting process

Winchester City Council procured housing repairs and void property maintenance services across its housing stock. The requirement covers day-to-day repairs, larger repairs including disrepair and damp and mould work, and potentially planned kitchen and bathroom replacements. The appointed supplier is expected to work with the Council on preventative maintenance regimes and innovative service delivery, supporting compliance with Awaab’s Law and the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023. The work is a mixture of property maintenance services and building works, including building installation and related repairs to building systems. Delivery is for the Council’s housing stock in the Winchester area and wider Hampshire locality.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Winchester City Council awarded the single lot to Wates Property Services Ltd on 24 March 2026, after four bids were received; one reached the final stage. The award and signed contract are valued at £56.7 million excluding VAT (£68.04 million including VAT). The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030, with a Council option for a three-year extension in annual increments, to 2 August 2033. It used an open competitive flexible procedure. The evaluation comprised qualitative responses worth 50%, social value 10% and price 40%. The tender deadline was 13 November 2025 at noon.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Winchester City Council’s future housing maintenance requirements. Credible competitors would need at least three years’ experience delivering repairs and voids work for a social housing provider covering a minimum of 3,000 properties. They would also need sufficient human and technical resources for data protection compliance, strong financial standing, and capacity to provide employer’s and public liability insurance of £10 million each plus £5 million professional indemnity cover. The buyer tested detailed service quality, social value and pricing, so future contenders should evidence effective delivery models, community benefits and cost control. Performance capability should include keeping appointments, completing routine repairs within target and achieving first-time fixes.
