UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Housing Group Ltd (whg) is planning a clean and foul water repairs contract for housing and building infrastructure. The works cover drainage and ground-drainage work, sewerage repairs, water-distribution and ancillary pipeline works, water plumbing, and repair and maintenance of building installations. Delivery is expected across the Midlands, including the areas served by whg and potentially its current and future operating entities, including Aspire Housing, following the planned merger. The contract is intended to appoint a single supplier. Faithorn Farrell Timms is acting as whg’s procurement consultant. Suppliers with the ability to deliver responsive and planned repairs across clean-water, foul-water, drainage, sewerage and associated building systems are the relevant market.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently intended for market engagement rather than tender submission. whg has asked suppliers to confirm their interest through a questionnaire, with responses expected by 9 October 2026. The buyer expects the contract to start on 4 May 2027 and run to 3 May 2029, with renewal available until 3 May 2032. The stated value is approximately £647,500 per annum excluding VAT, while the published total gross value is £3,885,000. The procurement is for works, is below the relevant threshold, and is planned as a single-lot arrangement with one supplier. Indicative contract dates may be updated when the tender is published.

The planned requirement should suit contractors specialising in water and drainage infrastructure for housing providers, particularly those able to combine clean-water and foul-water repairs with sewerage, ground-drainage, pipeline, plumbing and associated building-installation maintenance. The likely operating footprint is substantial, covering whg’s service areas across the Midlands and potentially the wider geographical areas of the merged housing group. This will favour suppliers with sufficient operational capacity, qualified repair and maintenance teams, suitable equipment, and established arrangements for coordinating work across multiple housing locations. Businesses with relevant housing-association or public-sector repairs experience can use the engagement stage to demonstrate that they can support a single-supplier model and the possible expansion of the service area.
