Summary of the contracting process

Bolsover District Council procured a principal contractor for its Kitchen Upgrade Programme in tenanted, council-owned homes. The work covers replacing and upgrading kitchens, together with associated building installation, repair and maintenance services. This is a construction and property-maintenance requirement rather than a supply-only kitchen purchase: the appointed contractor is responsible for delivering the programme under a JCT contract. The buying organisation is Bolsover District Council. The work is associated with council housing in the Bolsover area. The requirement is classified as works, with building installation work and repair and maintenance services for building installations also identified. It is therefore relevant to principal contractors, kitchen refurbishment specialists and building-services contractors able to manage domestic works in occupied social-housing properties.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a single lot and an open procedure. The estimated value was £2,700,000 excluding VAT and £3,240,000 including VAT. Bids closed at noon on 20 April 2026, following an amendment extending the deadline by one week; the estimated award decision date was 18 June 2026. Eleven bids were received, with nine reaching the final stage, all from SMEs. Cost and quality were weighted equally at 50% each. The award was made to MATTHEWS & TANNERT LIMITED on 1 July 2026, at a gross value of £3,240,000. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with two potential two-year extensions, subject to performance, council requirements, budget and mutual consent, allowing continuation until 31 March 2031.

This procurement demonstrates a substantial, recurring requirement for council-house kitchen refurbishment delivered through a principal-contractor model. The nine SME bids reaching the final stage show that the opportunity can be contested by smaller businesses, while the equal cost and quality weighting indicates that price alone is not sufficient. Suppliers likely to be well placed when this requirement returns will combine kitchen replacement capability with building-installation, repair and maintenance expertise, and will be able to coordinate works across tenanted homes with appropriate resident liaison, programme management and quality control. A credible competitor should also understand JCT contract administration, demonstrate reliable delivery performance and have the operational capacity to manage a multi-year housing programme, including any agreed extension work.
