Summary of the contracting process

Home Group Limited procured void clearance and associated services for its properties in the North East of England. The work covers clearing empty properties and related refuse and waste services, cleaning and sanitation, and environmental services. It is a services contract managed by Home Group Limited, with delivery across the North East region. The requirement is relevant to contractors that can organise property clearances, remove waste and unwanted contents, clean properties to the required standard, and provide associated environmental or sanitation services. The scope combines clearance and cleaning activities rather than a standalone waste collection or general cleaning requirement, so suppliers would need to coordinate several elements of preparing vacant housing for use or reoccupation.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. One lot was evaluated on an equal 50% quality and 50% price basis. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026, enquiries closed on 25 May 2026, and the award period ended on 26 June 2026. Nine bids were received, with six reaching the final stage. UK Commercial Group Limited was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026 for £1,500,000 excluding VAT (£1,800,000 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with possible two 12-month extensions, giving a maximum extent to 30 September 2030. The contract signature was scheduled for 30 September 2026. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial and recurring demand from Home Group for coordinated void property services in the North East. The winning requirement favours businesses able to combine property clearance, waste handling, cleaning, sanitation and environmental services under one managed operation. Credible competitors would need the workforce, vehicles, equipment and operational controls to clear and clean multiple vacant homes, manage waste responsibly and deliver consistent outcomes across the region. The equal weighting of quality and price means capability must be supported by a competitive cost model and a clear service approach. Six SMEs reached the final stage, showing that smaller businesses can be credible competitors where they can demonstrate sufficient capacity, relevant delivery experience and reliable coordination across the full scope.
