Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council procured the removal of obsolete domestic kitchens and the supply and installation of replacements at properties across Swindon. The works include associated preparation, plumbing, electrical work, decoration, flooring, plastering, joinery, carpentry, wall and floor coverings, painting and glazing, as well as kitchen furniture and equipment. This is a combined housing refurbishment and building installation requirement, with the council’s asset refresh programme providing the purpose. Delivery is within Swindon. The procurement covers one package of work rather than separate specialist lots, so the appointed contractor is expected to coordinate the kitchen replacement activity and its associated building services. It is relevant to contractors able to deliver domestic kitchen refurbishment alongside the supporting trades and property works.

The procurement is complete and Penshurst Construction Ltd was selected as supplier on 30 July 2026, subject to a standstill period ending on 28 August 2026. The awarded value is £7,085,735.40 including VAT (£7,085,735.40 gross), and the contract is scheduled to run from 10 September 2026 to 9 September 2029, with an option to extend to 9 September 2031. It was an above-threshold open procedure. The original estimated value was £7,920,000 including VAT. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, with mobilisation, quality assurance, health and safety management, customer satisfaction and KPIs, project management, and social value each weighted at 10%. Eighteen bids were submitted, with 17 reaching the final stage.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Swindon Borough Council for coordinated domestic kitchen renewal delivered across its housing properties. A credible future competitor would need to manage complete kitchen replacements rather than provide kitchens alone, combining installation with plumbing, electrical, preparation, flooring, decoration, plastering, joinery and carpentry. The evaluation shows that technical delivery must be supported by a clear mobilisation plan, robust quality assurance, effective health and safety management, measurable customer satisfaction and KPI arrangements, and competent project management. Social value also formed part of the assessment. The field included 15 small and medium-sized enterprises at the final stage, indicating that suitably organised SMEs can compete alongside larger contractors. Experience coordinating multiple trades and maintaining consistent standards across housing work would therefore be important.
