Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited is procuring property compliance services for its housing stock in the Midlands, East and South of England. The requirement covers planned investment and home improvement compliance work involving electrical and mechanical equipment. Suppliers will service and maintain equipment, including regular inspection, testing, cleaning and repair of electrical systems, wiring and associated equipment, to support safety, reliability and compliance with legal requirements. The work also includes testing and remediation: investigating defects and risks, designing solutions, providing advice and carrying out other activities needed to rectify problems or meet legislation, regulations and technical standards. This is a services procurement, covering building installation, repair and maintenance work across three regional areas.

The process has reached tender: Orbit invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It includes shortlisting, initial tender submission, due diligence and final tender submission. Expressions of interest were due by 4 September 2026 at 14:00, and enquiries by 28 August 2026 at 14:00. The award decision is due by 26 March 2027. Contracts are planned from 3 May 2027 to 2 May 2030, with extensions of three years and two further two-year periods, potentially lasting until 30 April 2037. The estimated maximum value is £95.5 million including gross amounts: £36.1 million for the Midlands lot, £23.3 million for the East lot and £36.1 million for the South lot. Quality carries 60% and price 40%. Suppliers may bid for all lots but will usually receive no more than two.

This opportunity suits electrical and mechanical compliance contractors able to deliver planned servicing, maintenance, inspection, testing, cleaning, repair, investigation and remediation across housing stock. Relevant suppliers will need practical capability in managing electrical and mechanical building equipment, identifying defects and risks, designing or advising on remedial solutions, and working to applicable legal, regulatory and technical standards. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is divided into Midlands, East and South regional lots, allowing businesses to target the areas matching their operational coverage. Orbit will shortlist the strongest expressions of interest, with up to seven bidders per lot, or more where scores are tied, invited to submit the full tender. The process may include due diligence, dialogue, presentations and clarifications before final bids.
