Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited is undertaking a public procurement process for 'Scaffolding Services' across its housing portfolio. The tender, tagged as 'Lot 6', seeks contractors to provide scaffolding solutions for various housing projects involving maintenance and repairs. This opportunity is categorised under the 'works' main procurement category and follows a selective procurement method with a competitive flexible procedure. The scope covers the erection, adaptation, and dismantling of scaffolding across Severn, Tame, and Witham regions in the UK. The procurement stage is currently at 'tender', with submissions due electronically by 24 April 2026 at 14:00 BST. Contracts are anticipated to be awarded by 1 October 2026, with service commencement from 1 November 2026.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for scaffolding businesses, particularly those capable of delivering region-specific services for diverse residential buildings. Given the multi-lot, multi-contractor approach in regions including counties like Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, and more, suppliers with strong financial standing, relevant technical ability, and competitive pricing strategies are well-suited for participation. The process emphasises quality, accounting for 70% of the evaluation score, ensuring that proficient service delivery, operational capability, and social value are rewarded. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, aligning with Platform Housing's plan to appoint multiple contractors, enhancing business diversification and networking possibilities within the construction sector.
