Summary of the contracting process

Stroud District Council is procuring planned external works for its social housing stock across the Stroud district. The work covers roofs, rendering, repointing and general external repairs to more than 5,200 council-owned homes, including general-needs housing, sheltered and supported accommodation, and leasehold properties. This is a construction works requirement delivered for the Council’s housing service and its tenants and leaseholders. The Council retains housing management and delivers services directly. The procurement is a single package covering the external fabric and repair needs of the housing stock, rather than a supply-only contract. Businesses specialising in housing maintenance, roofing, building repairs, rendering, repointing or wider planned external works are within the relevant market. The Council’s appointed administrative procuring entity is Impart Links Limited.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 20 February 2026, enquiries closed on 30 January 2026, and the award period ended on 2 March 2026. The estimated value was £15 million excluding VAT, or £18 million including VAT. Two awards were made on 10 March 2026: Ian Williams Limited received £7.5 million excluding VAT (£9 million including VAT), for 5 May 2026 to 4 May 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions; MD Building Services Ltd trading as MD Group and M.D. Building Services received £7.5 million excluding VAT (£9 million including VAT), for 4 May 2026 to 4 May 2029, also with two possible 12-month extensions. The second award’s contract was signed on 19 August 2026 for £4.5 million excluding VAT (£5.4 million including VAT), ending 4 May 2029. Evaluation weighted quality and social value at 60% and price at 40%. Fourteen bids were received, with thirteen reaching the final stage. Economic and technical selection criteria applied, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Stroud District Council for planned external maintenance of a substantial social housing portfolio. A credible competitor would need proven capability in roofing, rendering, repointing and general external repairs, with the capacity to coordinate planned works across varied housing types and occupied properties. Experience of social housing or public-sector maintenance would be relevant to understanding tenant and leaseholder requirements, work-order controls and employer inspections. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality and social value than on price alone, so suppliers should be able to evidence reliable delivery, community benefits and a well-developed service approach. The contract’s performance measures covered customer satisfaction, defects identified through post-inspections and completing works orders on time. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, while the award outcome shows that substantial construction and maintenance providers were competing.
