Summary of the contracting process

Magenta Living procured energy-efficiency works for its housing stock in the Wirral area. The scope covers the design and installation of external wall insulation and cavity wall insulation, including enabling works and possible extraction of existing cavity materials. It also includes mounted solar photovoltaic systems, with or without batteries, and air-source heat pumps, together with their enabling works. Other requirements are loft insulation and top-ups, full roof renewals, replacement of light bulbs with low-energy alternatives, and ventilation upgrades where needed. The works must include any additional measures required to meet PAS requirements. This is a construction and building-improvement opportunity delivered across Magenta Living’s stock in Wirral.

The procurement is complete and one lot was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Rothwell Plumbing Services Limited was selected on 10 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2028 and has a value of £2,460,877.93, excluding any distinction between gross and net amounts in the published value. The awarded work is classified as construction work. The contract is active, while the tender is recorded as complete. The published information identifies the limited competition route and the below-threshold basis; it does not set out a separate weighting or scoring basis for the award. Magenta Living is the buying organisation.

This award shows sustained housing-sector demand for practical energy-efficiency and decarbonisation works across a landlord’s existing stock. A credible competitor would need to coordinate surveying, design and installation across several measures rather than deliver a single trade in isolation. Relevant capability includes external and cavity wall insulation, managing enabling works and cavity extraction, solar PV with battery options, air-source heat pumps, loft insulation, roofing renewal, low-energy lighting, and ventilation upgrades. Experience of working in occupied or existing housing stock would support delivery, as would the technical competence to identify suitable measures and complete work to PAS requirements. Firms with broad building-services capacity, reliable supply-chain management and the ability to integrate insulation, renewable energy, roofing and ventilation packages would be well placed for comparable Magenta Living requirements.
