Summary of the contracting process

Vico Homes Limited, a housing association managing more than 32,000 homes in northern England, procured a single-supplier fencing supply and installation service for its owned and managed property boundaries. The requirement covers supply-only timber fencing, timber trip rail, concrete posts and gravel boards, postcrete, timber pedestrian gates and gate furniture, as well as supply and fitting of those fencing products and components. The aim is to provide an efficient, safe service that improves service delivery and residents’ experience. The work is associated with West Yorkshire and the North of England; the procurement’s delivery areas also extend into the East Midlands. The work combines fencing materials with fencing installation (CPV 34928200).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to L D Environmental Solutions Limited. The award date was 28 September 2026; the contract is due to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with three optional extensions of up to 12 months each, subject to performance review. The awarded value is £970,604.77 including VAT (£808,837.30 excluding VAT). Vico used an open procedure, with a single supplier sought for the whole requirement. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026. Evaluation weighted quality and response to specification at 50%, cost at 40% and social value at 10%. Seven bids were received, of which five reached the final stage; all five final-stage bids came from SMEs.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Vico Homes, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated fencing offer: sourcing and supplying timber and concrete fencing components, gates and associated fittings, alongside safe, reliable installation to housing boundaries. A credible competitor would need to manage both supply-only orders and installation work, coordinate materials and fitting, and respond to requirements across Vico’s property portfolio in northern England and the stated delivery areas. The evaluation placed most weight on quality and the response to specification, while also assessing price and social value, so capability should be evidenced through a clear delivery approach as well as competitive costs and relevant social-value commitments. The contract was awarded to an SME, and the tender attracted five SME bids at final stage, showing that businesses of this scale competed.
