UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aspire Housing commissioned external cyclical painting and decorating works for its housing stock. The requirement is a building-painting programme, covering planned external decoration rather than one-off reactive repairs. Aspire Housing is the buying organisation, based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and delivery is in the West Midlands. The procurement covers works under the building painting category, including CPV 45442110, “Painting work of buildings”. Two contractors were appointed to deliver the programme: Hankinson Whittle Limited and Ian Williams Limited. The requirement supports the planned upkeep and external appearance of Aspire Housing properties through a coordinated cyclical works programme.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Aspire Housing used a below-threshold limited competition. One completed lot was awarded jointly to Hankinson Whittle Limited and Ian Williams Limited. The contract was signed and awarded on 24 August 2026, with an active contract period from 24 August 2026 to 24 August 2027. Its gross value is £700,000 including VAT. Aspire Housing holds an option to extend the contract for a further 12 months, giving a maximum end date of 24 August 2028. Contract performance is measured monthly against adherence to the agreed programme and the percentage of works passing Aspire Housing’s inspection at the first inspection.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Aspire Housing for planned external painting of housing stock, delivered through a multi-contractor model and a below-threshold limited competition. Suppliers most suitably placed for a future requirement would be established building-decoration contractors able to manage cyclical programmes across multiple properties and coordinate sufficient labour, supervision, materials and access arrangements. Credible competitors would need to show reliable programme management, the capacity to start and complete works in line with agreed schedules, and strong quality-control processes. The buyer’s performance measures indicate that evidence of completing work to programme and achieving first-time inspection approval would be commercially important. Large painting and maintenance contractors, including firms able to operate as one of several appointed providers, are the closest fit.
