Summary of the contracting process

Connexus Homes Limited procured cyclical internal and external painting and decoration works for its housing stock, split between Shropshire and Herefordshire. The work covers preparation, painting and finishing in line with the specification; supplying labour, materials, plant and access equipment; coordinating with tenants, leaseholders and Connexus staff; protecting adjoining surfaces; meeting health and safety requirements; providing progress reports and proof of completion; and rectifying defects. This is a works contract for painting buildings and structures, repainting, protective coating and associated decoration. The two geographical lots were assessed separately, allowing contractors to work in either county or across both. The requirement supports the ongoing maintenance of the quality, safety and appearance of Connexus’s homes.

The procurement is complete and both lots were awarded to Hankinson Whittle Limited on 12 May 2026, subject to a standstill period ending 7 August 2026. Each award is worth £400,000 gross. Lot 1 covers Shropshire and Lot 2 covers Herefordshire; each contract is scheduled to run from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2028, with an option to extend to 10 August 2030 following satisfactory annual performance reviews. The open procedure was above threshold. The tender deadline was 2 February 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 26 January 2026 at 12:00, and the award decision period ended 2 March 2026. Each lot was evaluated on 65% quality, based on a written submission, and 35% price. Thirteen bids were received for Lot 1 and ten for Lot 2.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Connexus Homes Limited for planned painting and decoration across its housing stock in two neighbouring counties. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience delivering internal and external painting at housing-stock scale, including preparation, finishing, repainting and protective coatings. Operational capability would need to include providing labour, materials, plant and access equipment, coordinating safely with tenants, leaseholders and the client’s staff, protecting occupied or adjoining areas, and managing defect rectification. Suppliers would also need robust health and safety arrangements, progress reporting and completion-evidence processes. Both lots were identified as suitable for SMEs, and the final competition included seven SMEs for Shropshire and five for Herefordshire, indicating that smaller contractors with sufficient capacity and relevant delivery systems can compete.
