Summary of the contracting process

The Swaythling Housing Society Ltd, trading as Abri, has concluded the procurement process for the supply and installation of signage as part of a competitive flexible procedure. The contract, titled "Signage Supply and Installation," covers internal and external signage requirements for existing estates and future developments across Eastleigh and Swindon in the United Kingdom. The procurement was divided into two lots: Lot 1 for a large-scale rebrand and continuous office-based needs, awarded to Stewart Signs Limited, and Lot 2 for new build developments, awarded to JAFRE LIMITED. The contracts are set to commence on 3rd August 2026, with a base period of three years and potential extensions totalling three additional years. Key procurement details include the use of an open method and a gross contract value totaling GBP 1,056,000 across both lots.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the signage industry, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive design, production, and installation services. The scale and scope of the project offer prospects for exposure to large-scale rebranding and new development signage. Businesses specialising in signage design, production, supply, and installation are well-suited to compete, particularly those with the flexibility to accommodate future organisational rebranding and expansion needs. The inclusion of a modification allowance further enhances the longstanding growth potential by allowing for adjustments necessitated by unforeseen circumstances, making it attractive for dynamic, growth-oriented businesses.

To ensure flexibility throughout the life of the Contract, particularly in relation to organisational growth or identity changes, a modification allowance of 50% of the total Contract value has been allocated. Unforeseen events may arise during the Contract that cannot be predicted at this time, including urgent estate-wide operational changes, unexpected safety or compliance directives, severe weather or environmental damage, or hidden defects and structural issues only identified during installation works. These unknown unknowns may require additional signage supply, installations, removals, replacements, alternative materials, or revised fixing methods. To ensure service continuity and operational flexibility, a modification allowance of up to 50% of the Annual Contract Value has been set aside to accommodate these unpredictable requirements."
