UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited procured a stock condition survey of its housing stock. The service is intended to assess compliance with the Decent Homes Standard, the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, the accuracy of housing stock data, and mould and damp-related issues. This is a professional inspection and surveying requirement, classified as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work relates to Derby Homes’ housing stock in Derby. The buyer is Derby Homes Limited, based in Derby. The requirement covers one service lot and includes a “no warranty” statement, so suppliers would need to rely on their own survey findings and professional judgement when reporting the condition of the properties and associated risks.

The procurement reached award stage, with the tender recorded as complete. Derby Homes used a below-threshold limited competition. Three suppliers submitted bids, all three reached the final stage, and all were SMEs. Ridge and Partners LLP was awarded the service on 6 August 2026 for £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). The awarded contract period was 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with signature scheduled by 31 August 2026. The associated contract record was cancelled on 10 August 2026 because the published notice contained an error: it should have linked the contract to a framework under PCR15, but the initial notice was published under the Procurement Act 2023 without that framework link. The award itself is recorded as active.

This requirement indicates established demand from Derby Homes for independent housing-condition surveying that combines property inspection, regulatory assessment and data-quality work. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience surveying housing stock at scale and assessing Decent Homes Standard compliance and HHSRS risks. Relevant capability also includes identifying and reporting damp and mould issues, validating asset and stock records, and presenting findings in a form that supports housing management decisions. Credible competitors would be professional inspection, building surveying, architectural, construction or engineering practices able to deploy suitably experienced surveyors, manage consistent inspections across multiple properties, and produce reliable evidence for compliance and remedial planning. The competitive field included SMEs, showing that the work can suit a specialist independent practice with the necessary capacity and technical expertise.
