UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by Aster Group Limited, focuses on further external decoration work at Hillier Road in Devizes. Aster Group, a housing association responsible for maintaining approximately 37,000 homes across the South of England and London, identified an increased scope of work required for the external decoration of windows at 64-72 Hillier Road. This procurement falls under the "works" category within the construction industry. The process reached the "award" stage on 14 July 2026, with the contract commencing on 13 July 2026 and concluding on 2 November 2026. The procurement method employed was direct, below the threshold without competition, allowing a single supplier, Gaiger Brothers Limited, to be directly engaged for the task.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and maintenance sector, such as those specialising in window installation and external decoration works. Companies like Gaiger Brothers Limited that are experienced in maintenance and repair projects of residential buildings could find similar contracts beneficial for growth. Engaging in such projects helps businesses establish a reputation for reliability and quality service provision, enhancing their portfolio of completed works and potentially leading to further direct procurement opportunities without the need for competition.

Notice Information

Notice Title

CAS-01392-B8F4B2 - Hillier Road - Further External Decoration Work

Notice Description

Aster Group is a Housing Association that provides homes to thousands of people across the South of England and London. As an organisation, it maintains approx. 37,000 homes and as a social landlord, is responsible for ensuring its stock is safe and secure on behalf of its customers. Aster Group regularly undertakes cyclical maintenance on its stock in accordance with property investment programmes and in some cases, is required to undertake structural works on its properties to ensure they are fit for use. 64-72 Hillier Road is a block of flats in Devizes, owned and maintained by Aster. The individual properties that make up this block are leaseholder tenure so generally, works are charged back to the leaseholders via the Section 20 process through service charges except for this project. Under Asters obligations as a responsible landlord the recent exterior decoration cycle was deemed to of been poorly executed. Due to this Aster instructed the contractor to carry out some exterior decoration to a handful of windows around the property. After further investigations (once the scaffolding had been put up) it became apparent that the amount of work required was greater that first anticipated. The decision was made to obtain a quote from the current contractor to carry out decorations to the remaining windows within the block. This extra work is required to ensure all the windows within the block are up to the desirable standard to extend their working life up-to and beyond the next decoration cycle. If left, they will deteriorate sooner than the newly painted windows meaning we would have to return to site sooner than required.
