UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council is planning a works contract for housing repairs and void property works. The scope covers responsive repairs, major repairs and work to bring empty properties back into use. It includes building refurbishment and completion, alterations, and repair and maintenance of building installations. The work is intended for delivery in Central Bedfordshire. This is a council housing maintenance and property improvement requirement rather than a standalone construction project, so relevant suppliers are likely to include building contractors, housing repairs providers, property maintenance firms and specialists able to coordinate multiple repair and refurbishment activities. The planned procurement is structured as one lot and is identified by the council as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is at the planning stage: Central Bedfordshire Council has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The council expects the next notice to be published on 18 January 2027. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with renewal provisions allowing it to continue until 31 March 2037. Its estimated value is £60,000,000 excluding tax and £72,000,000 including tax. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is planned under the Procurement Act 2023. The buyer has set out a single planned lot covering the repairs and void property works. Evaluation and tender submission arrangements will be established when the procurement reaches the market.

This requirement should suit housing maintenance contractors and building services businesses with experience delivering responsive repairs, major repairs and refurbishment of empty homes for a public-sector or housing client. Useful capability is likely to include diagnosing and completing varied building repairs, managing repair workloads, carrying out alterations and finishing works, and maintaining building installations. Suppliers with established teams, scheduling and emergency-response arrangements, supply-chain management, quality controls and the capacity to deliver work across a substantial housing property portfolio are likely to be well placed. The council has indicated that the lot is suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms may wish to prepare as a lead contractor, specialist provider or potential delivery partner. Businesses should monitor the planned procurement and prepare evidence of relevant housing repairs and refurbishment performance.
