Summary of the contracting process

Town and Country Housing is procuring a single contractor to deliver its external planned maintenance programme for homes across South East England, with concentrations in Tunbridge Wells and Epsom. The works cover cyclical repairs and external decorations, window replacements, roof repairs and associated refurbishment and repair and maintenance services. The contractor must undertake the full specification, including the surveys required by the tender documents, rather than bidding for only part of the requirement. This is a works contract for an organisation managing housing stock, so relevant suppliers are those able to coordinate planned maintenance across multiple residential properties and locations. The procurement includes painting, decoration, refurbishment and general external repair activities.

The procurement reached tender: Town and Country Housing invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 23 October 2026 at 15:00. The contract is valued at £6,000,000 excluding VAT, or £7,200,000 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with two possible two-year extensions at the client’s discretion, allowing a maximum period to 31 March 2035. The stated award decision date is 15 January 2027. Evaluation is based on price at 40%, quality responses at 40% and social value at 20%. Technical selection requirements are set out in the PSQ.

This opportunity suits a principal contractor able to act as the sole provider for a broad, coordinated external maintenance programme across housing stock in the South East. Relevant capability includes planned and cyclical repairs, external painting and decoration, window replacement, roof repair, refurbishment and associated surveying. The successful supplier will need the operational capacity to cover the complete specification across multiple locations, with particular activity around Tunbridge Wells and Epsom, and to manage delivery over a multi-year programme. A strong response will need to demonstrate technical suitability against the PSQ, alongside credible quality and social-value proposals. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, including specialist firms with sufficient capacity to lead or deliver the full scope.
