Summary of the contracting process

Irwell Valley Housing Association Limited is procuring building repair, maintenance and completion services through its Responsive Repairs and Void Works Framework. The requirement supports the association’s in-house repairs team with a reliable external supplier network for properties it owns, controls or occupies. Responsive repairs cover day-to-day work and emergency repairs during normal working hours. Void works follow a change of tenancy and can include repairs, renewals, reinstatement, replacement, internal redecoration, upgrading, cleaning and clearance. Irwell Valley Homes will inspect empty properties, define and price the required work, then issue it to framework contractors for completion. The procurement is for services and covers building installations, building completion and maintenance of building installations. One framework lot covers the full requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The competitive flexible procedure used a selective route: 14 bids were received, with six reaching the final stage. The award date was 18 September 2026. Three suppliers were appointed: Pro Active, Advanced Building NW Ltd and Vision Property Experts Ltd. The awarded value is £3,600,000 gross in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an optional one-year extension to 30 September 2029. The framework is an open framework scheme and may be reopened annually at Irwell Valley Homes’ discretion. Evaluation was based on 40% price, 30% quality and 30% interview or presentation. Framework ranking indicates approximate allocations of 50%, 40% and 10%, subject to performance and KPI compliance.

This award shows sustained demand from a housing association for a broad, responsive property maintenance capability rather than a single specialist trade. A credible future competitor would need to handle day-to-day and emergency repairs, diagnose and complete void-property works, and cover repair, renewal, reinstatement, replacement, redecoration, upgrading, cleaning and clearance activities. The requirement suits established building services and property maintenance contractors able to mobilise a dependable workforce across housing stock, manage varied work orders and respond to changing volumes. Suppliers would also need to work to the M3NHF Schedule of Rates, provide competitive percentage rates, and demonstrate consistent quality, service levels and KPI performance. The procurement attracted six final-stage SME bids, indicating that suitably capable smaller firms can compete through a structured quality, price and presentation assessment.
