Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured construction and refurbishment works to the external areas of Blocks 1 and 2 at Bill Sargent Crescent in Portsmouth. The scope covered replacement of timber balcony decking, installation of new balcony soffits, repairs to rust affecting balcony structures, and remediation of cracking. This is a works requirement involving building overhaul and refurbishment. Delivery was associated with Hampshire, with the named site in Portsmouth. The appointed supplier was to act as principal contractor, coordinating and carrying out the external-area repairs to flats. The opportunity is therefore relevant to building contractors with experience in occupied or residential housing refurbishment, balcony repairs, structural remedial work and associated health and safety management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 7 May 2026 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 30 April 2026 at 12:00. Five bids were received and four reached the final stage. Evaluation was based on 60% quality and 40% price. LOGIC CONTRACT SERVICES LTD was awarded the contract on 9 June 2026 for £72,710 excluding VAT (£87,252 including VAT). The contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The award period ran from 1 July to 1 September 2026, while the signed contract period runs from 1 August to 31 December 2026. There was one lot covering the whole requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from VIVID Housing Ltd for specialist residential external refurbishment delivered by a principal contractor. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in timber balcony decking replacement, balcony soffit installation, corrosion and rust repair to balcony structures, and cracking remediation. Experience of coordinating multiple work activities on housing blocks would be relevant, particularly where works affect residents, shared areas or occupied properties. Competitors should be able to evidence strong workmanship, robust health and safety controls, reliable programme management, and accurate monthly reporting and invoicing. Customer satisfaction and clear performance monitoring also matter. The competition attracted four final-stage SME bids, showing that suitably capable smaller contractors can compete for this type of housing repair work.
