Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council, a public authority in the sub-central government category, has recently completed a procurement process titled "Vacant Property Repairs (Voids)." The process was conducted under limited competition due to its below-threshold nature and involved refurbishing vacated council properties to a suitable, lettable standard. The endeavour aims to cater to vulnerable groups needing secure housing. This contract, valued up to £490,000, was undertaken in Swindon, UKK14 region, and took place between 1st May 2026 and 31st October 2026. The primary industry category involved is building construction work, classified under CPV 45210000.
