Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited commissioned a stock condition survey of its housing stock in Derby. The service is intended to assess compliance with the Decent Homes Standard and the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, verify the accuracy of housing stock data, and identify damp- and mould-related issues. This is a professional surveying service, within the broader architectural, engineering and surveying services category. The requirement covers the housing assets managed by Derby Homes and is structured as a call-off from the Places for People Group Strategic Asset Management Services Framework. It would suit firms providing residential property condition surveys, housing compliance assessments, building data validation and specialist investigation of damp and mould risks.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Ridge and Partners LLP. The contract was awarded and signed on 10 August 2026, at a value of £250,000. The route was a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, using a mini-competition or call-off from the Places for People Group Strategic Asset Management Services Framework. The stated rationale was a repetition of existing services under the framework’s conditions. The requirement was assessed on price. Three bids were recorded for the requirement. The tender comprised one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. Derby Homes Limited was the buyer.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a housing provider for a broad, evidence-led stock condition service rather than a narrow building inspection. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need teams able to survey housing stock consistently, test compliance with the Decent Homes Standard and HHSRS, validate asset and property data, and recognise, record and assess damp and mould issues. The work calls for practical residential surveying experience, reliable data collection and reporting systems, and the capacity to cover a housing portfolio. The award also shows that the requirement can be accessed through a strategic asset management framework and that an SME provider was selected, making framework participation and demonstrable value for money commercially relevant.
