Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes is procuring a radon testing programme from suitably qualified suppliers. The work involves testing for radon and using detection apparatus, with associated installation services for testing equipment. It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is intended for organisations able to plan and carry out radon testing activity at the locations covered by Plymouth Community Homes, using appropriate detection equipment and competent personnel. The buying organisation is Plymouth Community Homes, a public undertaking based in Plymouth. This opportunity may suit specialist environmental monitoring, building safety, occupational health, surveying, or testing businesses whose services include radon measurement and who can provide the equipment, technical expertise and operational resource needed for a programme of this nature.

The process has reached tender: Plymouth Community Homes invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot, above-threshold services procurement. The estimated value is £330,000 excluding VAT, or £396,000 including VAT. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 14 August 2026 at 11:00 and bids were due by 28 August 2026 at 11:00. Offers were to be evaluated on a pass/fail technical requirement, price weighted at 90%, and social value weighted at 10%. The contract period was set from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029, with renewal options of one year plus one year, giving a maximum possible end date of 18 October 2031. Electronic submission was allowed in English, and the planned award decision date was 12 October 2026.

This opportunity suits specialist suppliers with demonstrated capability in radon testing, detection and the installation or use of testing equipment. Strong candidates are likely to have competent technical staff, reliable measurement and reporting processes, and the capacity to deliver a coordinated programme across the United Kingdom. Businesses should be able to meet a pass/fail technical requirement before competing primarily on price, while also showing how they will deliver the required social value. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to an established specialist testing firm as well as a larger environmental, building safety or surveying contractor. Suppliers with relevant programme-management experience and the resources to support the full service requirement are best placed to compete.
