Summary of the contracting process

Magenta Living is procuring external wall insulation (EWI) cladding reinstatement works to three high-rise residential buildings: Liscard House, Sunningdale and The Towers. The requirement covers cladding replacement and reinstatement at Magenta Living properties in the North West of England. It is a construction works contract, classified under CPV 45262650 for cladding works. The procurement is intended to address cladding requirements across the three named sites through one supplier. The buyer is Magenta Living, a public undertaking based in Birkenhead. Bidders should review the technical requirements for each building and ensure their proposed approach covers the complete three-site requirement, rather than treating the properties as separate procurements.

The procurement has reached tender: Magenta Living invited offers through an open procedure, with tenders submitted electronically through its e-sourcing portal. The tender deadline is 8 October 2026 at 13:00, and enquiries close on 24 September 2026 at 17:00. The evaluation award decision is scheduled by 2 December 2026. The contract is expected to run from 4 January 2027 to 31 July 2028. The estimated value is £6,000,000 excluding VAT, or £7,200,000 including VAT. The tender was revised so that bidders must bid for the complete requirement and one supplier will be awarded the works for all three sites. Evaluation is based on 40% price, 55% quality and 5% social value.

This opportunity suits construction contractors with the specialist capability to deliver external wall insulation and cladding replacement on high-rise residential buildings. Suppliers should be able to manage coordinated works across Liscard House, Sunningdale and The Towers, including the planning, sequencing and site management needed for multiple occupied or operational housing properties. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but bidders must have sufficient capacity to deliver the complete three-site package as a single supplier. Strong technical proposals will be important because quality carries greater weight than price in the evaluation. Businesses with relevant high-rise cladding reinstatement experience, robust project delivery arrangements and a credible social value offer are likely to be well placed to compete.
