UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orwell Housing Association Ltd procured void property works and refurbishment works for its housing stock. The requirement covers refurbishment work to properties that become vacant, together with wider refurbishment activity needed when the association’s existing resources or contracted provider cannot meet demand. East Rising Limited was appointed as an overflow contractor to provide additional delivery capacity. The work is classified as construction and refurbishment rather than routine goods or professional consultancy services. Delivery covers England, spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This opportunity is therefore relevant to building contractors and property refurbishment specialists able to operate across a broad English service area and support housing-related void works.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Orwell Housing Association used a below-threshold direct award without competition and awarded the single lot to East Rising Limited. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £333,333.33 excluding VAT, or £400,000 including VAT. The arrangement provides overflow capacity when existing resources or the contracted provider cannot meet service demand. The award is active and the contract is active; no cancellation or termination is reported. The selected supplier is identified as East Rising Limited, an SME based in Great Yarmouth. The procurement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct-award route rather than an open tender.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Orwell Housing Association for responsive void-property and refurbishment capacity, particularly when internal teams or incumbent contractors are stretched. A credible future competitor would need practical building and refurbishment capability, the workforce and operational capacity to absorb overflow demand, and the ability to deliver housing-related works across a wide English geography. Experience of preparing vacant properties for reuse, coordinating multiple trades, managing varied refurbishment tasks and maintaining reliable service levels would be commercially relevant. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor. Suppliers should also be comfortable with direct engagement below public procurement thresholds and with supporting an existing provider model rather than replacing it.
