Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured services described as “Void Rent – Oldland Common – Elizabeth Close”. The requirement concerns a void-rent arrangement associated with Oldland Common and Elizabeth Close, with the award classified under health and social work services (CPV 85000000). Bristol City Council is the buying organisation. The named supplier is Elim Housing Association, an SME based in Rudgeway. The procurement is subject to the light-touch regime. The available information identifies one service lot and links the requirement to the Bristol area, although it does not give a more specific delivery address. This is a focused housing-related public service requirement rather than a purchase of goods, construction works or general property maintenance.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to Elim Housing Association. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold, made without competition. The contract was signed on 4 December 2025 and ran from 5 December 2025 to 31 March 2026. Its gross value was £200,000 including taxes, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. One lot was completed and awarded. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award records the requirement as a service and associates it with health and social work services. No separate award date is recorded.

This procurement indicates Bristol City Council demand for a focused housing-related service connected with void rent at a named residential location, delivered within the health and social work services category. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would understand housing management and the practical issues surrounding vacant accommodation, while also being able to provide or coordinate relevant social and community services. The selected provider was an SME housing association, so relevant experience does not depend solely on being a large national contractor. Credibility would come from a clear record of delivering comparable housing or support services, the operational capacity to manage a defined local requirement, and an ability to work directly with the council under a proportionate below-threshold purchasing route.
