Summary of the contracting process

Muircroft Housing Association is seeking a contractor to provide repairs and maintenance services across two sheltered housing schemes in Southampton, comprising 102 one-bedroom flats for residents aged 60 and over. The work covers void repairs, from minor fixes to capital replacements such as kitchens and bathrooms; day-to-day responsive repairs at emergency, urgent and routine priorities; and a 24-hour out-of-hours emergency response linked to a Careline monitoring system. The procurement is managed by Sitemark Ltd on the housing association’s behalf. The stated service classification covers maintenance of electrical and mechanical building installations. This is a single service requirement, rather than separate lots.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure under an open procurement method. The tender was published on 15 October 2026 and amended on 29 October 2026. Questions were due by 12 November 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 7 December 2026 at 23:59; electronic submission is allowed. The stated contract period is 24 May 2027 to 23 May 2032, with a possible two-year extension, taken one year at a time, at the authority’s discretion. The estimated value is £1.25 million excluding VAT and £2.1 million including VAT. The award decision was due by 31 March 2027. Evaluation weights are 35% quality response, 30% price and 35% presentation.

The contract may suit small and medium-sized businesses, and combines planned void works with responsive repairs and a round-the-clock emergency service across two sheltered housing schemes. Strong candidates will be able to manage a varied repairs workload, including minor repairs and larger kitchen or bathroom replacements, and deliver emergency, urgent and routine responses. The service also requires an out-of-hours operation connected to a Careline monitoring system. The procurement describes a staged competition: initial technical, operational and commercial proposals are followed by presentations and clarifications for shortlisted providers; the authority may also negotiate and invite a best and final offer. The stated evaluation rewards service quality and presentation alongside price, making delivery methodology, technical capability, quality assurance and mobilisation relevant areas for bidders to demonstrate.
