Summary of the contracting process

Cobalt Housing Limited is managing a comprehensive public procurement process titled "Planned Maintenance 2026," aimed at reinvesting in its housing stock across Liverpool, particularly in Croxteth, Fazackerley, and Norris Green. This process involves extensive works to both external infrastructures and internal components, including major renewals of kitchens, bathrooms, and more, with a distinctive division into two geographical lots. The contracts will span an initial four years, from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2030, with possible extensions up to 2032, subject to annual reviews of performance. The procurement stage has concluded with awards pending, under an open procedure that resulted in two key suppliers being tentatively selected: Carroll Group Limited for Lot 1 (Croxteth and Fazackerley) and Penny Lane Builders Limited for Lot 2 (Norris Green), each with contracts valued at £25 million. The standstill period ends on 27th May 2026, aiming for formal contract signatures by 12th June 2026.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in construction and maintenance works, to secure long-term engagements with Cobalt Housing. The open procedure allowed multiple tenderers, instigating competitive bidding which included large enterprises and SMEs alike. Contractors specialising in electrical installations, plumbing, refurbishment, and maintenance services are particularly well placed to benefit from this initiative. The contract not only demands high technical proficiency and economic capacity but also emphasises quality and social value delivery plans. Businesses participating in this tender can enhance their portfolio with significant projects, benefiting from the associated stability and potential extensions to the contract period.
