UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council are jointly procuring contractors for kitchen and bathroom refurbishment and replacement works to properties in the Babergh and Mid Suffolk districts of Suffolk. The work covers bathroom construction, fitted-kitchen installation and wider refurbishment works. It is divided geographically between the two councils: one lot covers Babergh District Council properties and the other covers Mid Suffolk District Council properties. The councils are the buyers, with Faithorn Farrell Timms providing the procurement service. This is a substantial housing-refurbishment requirement for contractors able to deliver planned replacement and improvement works across residential properties in both districts, either directly or through an appropriate delivery team and supply chain.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the councils invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. The process starts with conditions-of-participation assessment, followed by a tender stage evaluating technical quality, price and social value. Expressions of interest were due by 7 September 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The intended contract period is 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option, subject to satisfactory reviews, to extend by up to two years, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. There are two lots, each valued at £30 million excluding VAT (£36 million including VAT). The combined estimated value is £60 million excluding VAT (£72 million including VAT). Each lot is scored on quality 60%, price 30% and social value 10%.

This opportunity suits refurbishment and building contractors with the capacity to carry out kitchen and bathroom replacement works across residential properties in either Babergh or Mid Suffolk. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. Businesses will need to demonstrate economic and technical capability, with the detailed conditions set out in the procurement documents. Relevant experience in bathroom construction, fitted-kitchen installation, property refurbishment, housing maintenance or similar planned works would be directly applicable. Contractors should be able to manage a multi-year programme, coordinate skilled trades and material supply, and meet the councils’ technical quality requirements. The evaluation gives quality greater weight than price and also rewards social value, so suppliers able to offer credible community, employment or wider local benefits may be well placed.
