UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes in Somerset Limited intends to procure repairs and maintenance services for door entry systems across its portfolio of 10,000 homes. The scope also includes servicing some automatic doors. This is a building-installation maintenance service, covering the inspection, servicing, fault diagnosis, repair and ongoing upkeep of access-control equipment and associated automatic doors. Delivery is in Somerset. The procurement is intended to support the housing provider’s residential properties and requires a supplier able to operate across a substantial housing portfolio. The work is classified under CPV 50700000, repair and maintenance services of building installations. It is planned as a single service requirement rather than separate specialist lots, so suppliers should consider whether they can provide both door-entry system maintenance and automatic-door servicing.

The process is at the planning and early market-engagement stage; it is not yet an invitation to tender. Homes in Somerset Limited expects to hold a market-engagement event on 19 August 2026 at 2pm, allowing suppliers to ask questions about the draft specification and comment on market availability. The buyer expects a tender to be released at the end of August 2026, with the next notice date estimated as 1 September 2026. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2029, with renewal provisions allowing extension to 30 October 2031. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The procurement is above threshold, with one planned lot and an open procedure expected under the current planning basis.

This will suit specialist building-services contractors with practical experience maintaining door entry and access-control systems in occupied residential properties. Suppliers should be prepared to service and repair equipment across a large housing portfolio, manage responsive faults as well as planned maintenance, and support the additional requirements of automatic doors. The scale will favour businesses with sufficient field-engineering capacity, geographical coverage in Somerset and the ability to coordinate work across many homes. Experience of housing-provider or social-housing environments would help suppliers prepare, particularly where work involves resident access, safety, clear record-keeping and reliable response arrangements. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the planned requirement. Suppliers can use the early engagement to review the draft specification and raise technical or operational questions before the tender is issued.
