UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Springboard Two Housing Association Limited procured the design and installation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services for partially completed works. The requirement covers electrical installation for heating and other building equipment, alongside mechanical engineering installation works. It is classified as construction works, including CPV 45315000 and CPV 45351000. Delivery is in the UKI area. The procurement was for the completion of an existing project scope following the insolvency of the main contractor. The housing association is the buying organisation and the requirement relates to maintaining site security, meeting health and safety obligations, protecting partially completed works and supporting continuity of the delivery programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 August 2026. It used a direct award under extreme and unavoidable urgency, justified by the main contractor’s insolvency and the need to complete existing work packages without adding unrelated services or materially extending the scope. One lot was awarded to MORGAN CASS (CIVILS) LIMITED. The award value is £7,482,488.17 excluding VAT, or £8,978,985.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 1 December 2027, with a possible extension to 1 March 2028 to align with a revised works completion date. The award is active, with signature scheduled for 3 September 2026.

This procurement indicates demand for an SME capable of taking responsibility for substantial MEP construction packages within a live, partially completed development. A credible competitor would need to combine design capability with delivery of mechanical engineering and electrical installation works, including heating and associated building equipment. The requirement also demonstrates the importance of mobilising quickly when a principal contractor fails, maintaining site security and health and safety, protecting existing works and completing an approved scope without introducing unrelated enhancements. Suppliers with experience taking over existing work packages, coordinating around partially completed construction and managing continuity risks would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable services.

Procurement Information

The Direct Award is proposed under Extreme and Unavoidable Urgency - Schedule 5(13) The insolvency of the main contractor has created an urgent and exceptional situation requiring immediate intervention to maintain site security, ensure health and safety compliance, protect partially completed works, and prevent significant delay to the delivery programme. NHG considers that the circumstances giving rise to this requirement were not reasonably foreseeable and were not attributable to any act or omission of the authority. The proposed direct awards are strictly limited to those works necessary to ensure continuity of delivery and mitigate the immediate consequences of the contractor's insolvency. The direct awards will only cover work packages that were already within the approved project scope and would have been undertaken irrespective of the contractor failure. No additional services, scope extensions or material changes to the contract, noting that some minor variations will likely occur for some packages but will be small in nature and not materially change the overarching scope, enhancement works, or new project requirements will be included. This ensures that the direct awards remain proportionate and confined to addressing the urgent circumstances that have arisen. Accordingly, any direct awards made under this justification will be restricted to the completion of the subcontractors' existing work packages and associated obligations. The direct awards will not be used to procure additional services, expand the scope of works (as above), or award unrelated future phases of the project.
