UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund procured ad-hoc day-to-day repairs and maintenance services for its housing provision. The requirement covers miscellaneous repair and maintenance works used when the association’s main repairs and maintenance contractor lacks capacity or demand peaks while new arrangements are being established. The work is delivered in the UK, with the buyer based in Darlington. This is a responsive property maintenance requirement rather than a new-build or major construction project. The procurement is categorised as services, with the relevant classification covering miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. It would suit businesses able to provide flexible building repairs and maintenance support for a housing association, including providers that can respond to additional workloads alongside an existing principal contractor.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. PR Property Services was selected for the single lot, and the award was made on 15 May 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 15 May 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible single three-month extension to 30 June 2027. Its gross value is £200,000. The contract is active and the tender itself is recorded as complete. The arrangement provides additional capacity for ad-hoc works while the buyer reviews and embeds its wider responsive repairs provision. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates that Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund uses a flexible supplementary repair and maintenance provider alongside its main contractor. A credible future competitor would need to deliver day-to-day responsive property repairs, absorb peaks in demand and provide extra capacity when the principal contractor cannot meet requirements. The work calls for an operationally ready business able to mobilise for ad-hoc housing maintenance tasks rather than relying only on planned programmes or large construction projects. PR Property Services is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider. Relevant experience in housing repairs, dependable response arrangements and the ability to work alongside an incumbent contractor would therefore be commercially important when this type of need is next reviewed.
