Summary of the contracting process

Springboard Two Housing Association Limited commissioned the design and installation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services for a housing project. The work covers electrical installation, including heating and other building electrical equipment, and mechanical engineering installation. The requirement was to complete existing subcontract work packages and associated obligations after the main contractor became insolvent, protecting the site and partially completed works and supporting safe, continuous delivery of the project. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. This is a construction and building-services package rather than a standalone supply of equipment: the scope combines design with installation and completion of MEP works already within the approved project scope.

The procurement is complete and awarded to MORGAN CASS (CIVILS) LIMITED. Springboard Two Housing Association Limited used a direct award under the extreme and unavoidable urgency provision, following the main contractor’s insolvency; the award was confined to existing work packages rather than new or unrelated scope. The published award date was 26 August 2026. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 1 December 2027, with an option to extend the end date to align with a revised works completion date, up to 1 March 2028. The contract value is £7,482,488.17 excluding VAT (£8,978,985.80 including VAT). One lot was awarded. The data gives no competitive evaluation basis because this was a direct award.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to deliver both design and installation across mechanical and electrical building services, including heating-related electrical systems, and have the civil and construction capability to work within an active, partially completed project. The package demonstrates demand for a supplier able to take over defined subcontract work and associated obligations at short notice after a principal contractor’s insolvency, while maintaining site security, meeting health and safety requirements and limiting disruption to the programme. Relevant experience would include coordinating with the housing association and other project parties, protecting existing works, and completing an established scope without relying on scope expansion. The successful contractor is an SME, showing that a supplier of this scale has delivered a substantial, multi-discipline works package for this buyer.

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.
