UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd is seeking suitably qualified and experienced structural engineering consultants to provide urgent and routine structural assessments across its housing portfolio, as required. The work covers structural engineering consultancy, including building inspections, diagnosis of defects, technical reporting, recommendations for remedial solutions and support with risk management. Services will be delivered across VIVID’s housing portfolio in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for services rather than construction works, with the consultant expected to support housing-related technical decisions and resident care. The opportunity may suit structural engineering consultancies, building pathology specialists and multidisciplinary property or housing technical advisers able to respond to both urgent and planned assessment requirements.

The process has reached tender: VIVID invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 6 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 28 November 2029, with an option for VIVID to extend it by two years, giving a possible five-year term. The overall estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality and 30% price, with quality covering service delivery, technical competence, reporting, resident engagement, safeguarding, sustainability and social value. The lot record separately states the same amounts in AED.

This opportunity suits consultants able to deliver reliable structural assessments across a sizeable housing portfolio and respond to both urgent instructions and routine workloads. Relevant capability includes building pathology, structural diagnosis, inspection technology, technically robust and consistent reporting, remedial solution design, risk management and operational resilience. The evaluation also rewards strong communication and stakeholder management, performance management, continuous improvement, customer experience, resident engagement, safeguarding and duty of care. Suppliers should be able to explain how they will manage service delivery, communicate with housing stakeholders and maintain quality across assignments. Experience of housing or occupied residential properties would be directly relevant to the stated resident-care and safeguarding requirements, alongside credible structural engineering expertise and sufficient capacity for responsive delivery.
