Summary of the contracting process

Magenta Living is procuring external wall insulation (EWI) cladding reinstatement works at three of its properties: Liscard House, Sunningdale and The Towers. The requirement covers cladding works at each site, with the three locations grouped into separate lots. Magenta Living is the buying organisation, and Arcus Consulting LLP has prepared the technical documents and is part of the tender evaluation team. The work is classified as cladding works (CPV 45262650) and falls within the works category. Contractors should therefore be able to undertake EWI cladding reinstatement on housing properties at all three named sites. The procurement requires a single supplier to deliver the complete requirement rather than separate suppliers for individual locations.

The process has reached tender: Magenta Living invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 31 August 2026 at 17:00, and tenders were due by 22 September 2026 at 15:00. The intended contract period for each lot is 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2027. The estimated total value is £6,000,000 excluding VAT, or £7,200,000 including VAT; each lot is estimated at £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. Bidders must submit one bid covering all three lots, or the bid will be rejected as non-compliant. Each lot is evaluated on price at 40% and quality at 60%, with quality including 10% social value. The award period ends on 26 October 2026.

This opportunity suits EWI and cladding contractors able to deliver reinstatement works across three Magenta Living properties and manage a single-supplier contract covering the full requirement. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to bid. A capable bidder will need the resources, site management and delivery capacity to address all three lots rather than selecting individual locations. Tender quality matters more than price in the evaluation, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a strong quality approach and deliver the specified 10% social value element. Access to the full tender documents requires submission of a completed Magenta Living Confidentiality Declaration. Bids must be prepared and submitted electronically through the ProContract e-sourcing portal, in English.
