Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes is procuring major refurbishment works to empty homes. The contractor is expected to handle major void refurbishments, with capacity for occasional minor void work, temporary accommodation (including some properties for West Northamptonshire Council), and void work arising from disrepair cases or decants. The work includes providing the service and liaising closely with the buyer’s Voids Manager. Delivery is in West Northamptonshire. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100).

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to A. Ainge and Sons, Grafield Construction Ltd and C.L.C Contractors Limited. The award date was 6 October 2026, with a combined award value of £24 million including VAT (£20 million excluding VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, in periods chosen to suit the buyer. The contract was competed through an open procedure. Bids were assessed on quality questions (60%) and a pricing matrix (40%). The process had one lot; 20 bids were received and three reached the final stage.

This award shows demand for contractors able to refurbish major void properties for Northamptonshire Partnership Homes, while also handling related work on minor voids, temporary accommodation and properties affected by disrepair or decant. Credible competitors will need the operational capacity to manage a substantial programme of empty-home refurbishment and to respond to varied property needs, including occasional work beyond the main major-void requirement. Close coordination with the buyer’s Voids Manager is part of the service. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, so suppliers should be able to evidence a strong delivery approach as well as competitive pricing. The competition reached three final-stage suppliers, all SMEs, indicating that smaller construction businesses can compete for this scale of work.
