Summary of the contracting process

Stonewater Limited, a sub-central government public authority, is initiating a tender process for the procurement of "Responsive Repairs and Empty Homes Maintenance Services" in its West Rural Region. The service scope covers multiple locations, including Gloucester, Tewkesbury, and Worcester, among others. The procurement is at the 'tender' stage, with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 30th July 2026 and a tender submission deadline set for 11th August 2026. The contract period will commence on 4th January 2027 and could extend until 2nd January 2030. This open procedure prioritises services under industry categories such as overhaul and refurbishment work, with a significant value of £19 million. The process is accelerated due to urgency, and proposals must encompass both technical and commercial aspects.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for enterprises specialising in building repair and maintenance. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are highly suitable to compete for this contract. Businesses offering comprehensive repair and maintenance services, particularly those that can deliver high-quality solutions in compliance with the NHF V8.1 Schedule of Rates, will find this tender especially attractive. By engaging in this procurement, businesses have the potential to partner with Stonewater Limited, thus expanding their portfolio within the public sector and increasing their market standing in the West Rural Region.

Notice Title

Responsive Repairs and Empty Homes Maintenance Services - West Rural Region

Notice Description

Stonewater currently utilises a Cost Sharing Vehicle (CSV) for the delivery of multiple Responsive Repairs and Empty Homes Maintenance Services across its West Rural Region. This is done in conjunction with two other Registered Housing Providers (RPs), utilising one RP's Direct Labour Organisation (DLO). However, owing to one of the RPs exiting the agreement, the CSV is no longer viable to the remaining parties and will expire on 31st December 2026. Having initially considered splitting service the requirements and the overall geography of the proposed region, it was decided that this approach did not align with Stonewater's strategic objectives and would not deliver sufficiently against the needs of the organisation and our customers. It was therefore agreed that the tender would be closed with this revised tender exercise taking its place. Stonewater, therefore, requires third-party contractor support to deliver its annual pipeline of responsive repairs and an empty homes maintenance service, against a defined specification, within its whole West-Rural geographical locality. The areas covered within the locality include, but are not limited to Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Forest of Dean, Cirencester, Fairford, Tetbury, Stratford Upon-Avon, Pershore, Kidderminster, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Bridgnorth, Worcester, Hereford, Ewyas Harold, Malvern and Tenbury Wells.
