Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes procured a principal contractor to refurbish six blocks of flats on Claremont Street, Plymouth. The programme covers concrete repairs, cladding, drainage and balcony repairs across a site comprising 83 homes, communal laundry facilities, garages and storage sheds. This is residential building refurbishment and repair work, rather than a supply-only contract. The buyer is Plymouth Community Homes, and the work is located in Plymouth. The requirement brings together several building fabric and external works trades, with the contractor responsible for delivering a coordinated programme across the blocks and associated facilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mercury Construction (South West) Ltd. The award date was 17 August 2026 and the awarded value is £2,553,710 excluding VAT (£3,064,452 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 17 August 2027. The competition was an open, below-threshold procedure, with five bids received and one reaching the final stage. The single lot was assessed on technical quality, weighted at 40%, and commercial cost, weighted at 60%. The tender’s stated contract period was 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2028; the award records a different, shorter delivery period.

For firms considering comparable future work for Plymouth Community Homes, this award indicates demand for a principal contractor able to coordinate refurbishment across multiple occupied residential blocks and related shared facilities. Credible suppliers would need practical capacity across concrete repair, cladding, drainage and balcony works, together with the project management capability to sequence these trades across six buildings. The competition reached a single final-stage bid from five submissions, and an SME was deemed suitable for the work, suggesting the requirement was accessible to smaller businesses with adequate delivery capacity. Technical quality formed a substantial part of evaluation, so clear evidence of relevant residential refurbishment experience, a robust delivery plan and effective management of interfaces between work packages would strengthen a future offer, alongside competitive pricing.
