UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Albans City and District Council is considering a responsive repairs, voids and capital investment works contract for public-sector housing. The anticipated scope combines construction work with ongoing repair and maintenance services, covering responsive repairs to occupied properties, works to void properties between tenancies, and capital investment works. The Council is seeking providers experienced in delivering repairs and maintenance services for public-sector landlords. Work is associated with the Council and delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a single proposed works contract rather than a stated multi-lot requirement. Suppliers whose core business includes housing repairs, property maintenance, voids works, planned or capital improvement programmes, and construction delivery should monitor the procurement as it develops.

The procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a pre-market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The Council expects to procure one contract using a procedure and evaluation approach that will be shaped by supplier feedback. The proposed contract period is 1 October 2027 to 1 October 2032, with a possible extension to 1 October 2037; renewal is indicated. The estimated value is £250 million excluding VAT, or £300 million including VAT. Suppliers must register on the PSPS electronic tendering portal to view the engagement instructions, submit responses and ask clarification questions. The scheduled date for engagement responses is 5 August 2026. Feedback will inform the procurement strategy, service specification, commercial model, evaluation approach and draft contract.

This engagement is relevant to established housing repairs and maintenance contractors, construction businesses and service providers already delivering comparable work for public-sector landlords. The Council is specifically seeking suitably experienced providers with a strong background in this market, so organisations should be able to demonstrate practical delivery of responsive repairs, voids work and capital investment or improvement programmes at substantial scale. Businesses with the operational capacity to manage both day-to-day repairs and larger planned works may be well placed when the procurement reaches the market. The engagement offers an opportunity to prepare by reviewing the proposed scope and considering how their delivery model, commercial approach, performance evidence and experience could inform the Council’s emerging requirements.
