Summary of the contracting process

Vico Homes Limited, a West Yorkshire housing association managing more than 32,000 homes across the North of England, is procuring a single-supplier fencing supply and installation contract. The requirement covers the supply-only and supply-and-fit of timber fencing, timber trip rails, concrete posts, concrete gravel boards, postcrete, timber pedestrian access gates and gate furniture. The work is intended to maintain or improve boundaries at homes and other properties managed or owned by Vico Homes, with the aim of providing an efficient, effective and safe service that improves customer experience. The procurement covers fencing goods together with associated installation work, delivered across Vico Homes’ operating areas in England.

The process has reached tender: Vico Homes invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 24 August 2026 at 17:00 BST, with the award decision due by 25 September 2026 at 23:59 BST. The contract is due to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with three optional extensions of up to 12 months each, giving a possible end date of 31 October 2031. It is a single-lot procurement because Vico Homes wants one supplier. The estimated gross value is £1,500,000, although the buyer gives no minimum or maximum value and does not guarantee any volume of business. Evaluation is based on quality and specification response (50%), cost (40%) and social value (10%).

This opportunity suits fencing contractors, builders’ merchants and specialist suppliers able to provide both timber and concrete fencing materials and complete installation work. Suppliers should be capable of supplying fencing, trip rails, posts, gravel boards, postcrete, pedestrian gates and gate furniture, with the workforce and operational capacity to work across Vico Homes’ managed boundaries in the North of England. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. A single supplier must be able to coordinate supply-only orders and installation efficiently, safely and consistently. Strong responses will need to demonstrate technical quality against the specification and offer credible social value alongside competitive pricing.
