Summary of the contracting process

Brunelcare procured a multi-disciplinary construction and major repairs service for housing-related works. The scope covers general building and multi-trade construction, electrical and mechanical systems, plumbing, heating and water systems, structural and exterior works, roofing, windows, doors, fencing, carpentry, flooring, decorating, damp-proofing, loft insulation and groundworks. It also includes around 70 bathroom refurbishments at Robinson House during the first two contract years, around 12 new kitchens and 12 new bathrooms at Lilac Close during the first year, and later ad hoc kitchen and bathroom replacements or refurbishments. Planned maintenance is separate. Brunelcare is the buying organisation and is based in Bristol. The awarded supplier, Cardo (Wales & West) Limited, operates from Cardiff, indicating a requirement suitable for a substantial regional construction and repairs provider.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Cardo (Wales & West) Limited. The associated contract is active, was signed on 25 August 2026, and is valued at £2,045,000. The procedure was a limited further competition under Lot 4 of the SEC Dynamic Purchasing System for responsive repairs, voids and planned maintenance, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Two bids were recorded. Evaluation allocated 60% to quality, with the remaining 40% covering schedule-of-rates adjustments, quoted labour, quoted works adjustments, and kitchens and bathrooms. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are also recorded against it. The procurement concerns construction works and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award shows that Brunelcare buys broad, multi-trade housing construction and major repair capability through a dynamic purchasing system and further competition. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to coordinate general building works with electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating, water, structural, roofing, window, door, carpentry, flooring, decorating, damp-proofing, insulation and groundworks trades. Capability to deliver kitchen and bathroom refurbishment programmes, void-property work and responsive repairs would be particularly relevant. Suppliers would need enough operational capacity to manage varied workstreams and larger volumes alongside ad hoc replacements, while demonstrating a strong quality-led delivery model. The evaluation also shows that schedule-of-rates management, labour pricing, adjustments and kitchen and bathroom pricing materially influence the outcome, so commercial control would be important as well as technical delivery.
