Summary of the contracting process

Springboard Two Housing Association Limited procured the supply and installation of smoke-control plant, including smoke-extraction and ventilation equipment. The work is to complete an existing package of works within an approved project scope, following the insolvency of the main contractor. The buyer’s stated purpose was to maintain site security, meet health and safety requirements, protect partially completed works and avoid significant programme delay. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement data does not identify a more specific location. The requirement is confined to completing the existing subcontractor work package and its associated obligations, rather than adding services, expanding the project scope or procuring unrelated future phases.

The procurement is complete and awarded to SystemAir Ltd by direct award, justified by extreme and unavoidable urgency after the main contractor became insolvent. The buyer said the circumstances were not reasonably foreseeable or caused by its actions or omissions, and limited the award to work necessary to sustain delivery and mitigate the insolvency’s immediate effects. The award date was 28 September 2026. Its gross value is £722,481.59, including £120,413.60 tax; the value before tax is £602,067.99. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend the end date to align with a revised works completion date, up to 1 June 2028. The procurement comprised one lot. No evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers competing for a comparable requirement from Springboard Two Housing Association, this award indicates demand for smoke-control installation and completion work on an existing project, including smoke-extraction and ventilation equipment. A credible supplier would need the technical capability, equipment and delivery capacity to take over a defined work package, protect partially completed works and maintain safe, secure site operations while meeting the project programme. Experience coordinating with the buyer and other contractors on an active construction site would be relevant to delivering the package without broadening its scope. SystemAir Ltd, a large supplier, was selected through a direct award justified by urgent continuity needs after the main contractor’s insolvency; that exceptional rationale describes this procurement, not the basis for assuming a future competition will use the same route.

Procurement Information

The Direct Award is proposed under Extreme and Unavoidable Urgency - Schedule 5(13) The insolvency of the main contractor has created an urgent and exceptional situation requiring immediate intervention to maintain site security, ensure health and safety compliance, protect partially completed works, and prevent significant delay to the delivery programme. NHG considers that the circumstances giving rise to this requirement were not reasonably foreseeable and were not attributable to any act or omission of the authority. The proposed direct awards are strictly limited to those works necessary to ensure continuity of delivery and mitigate the immediate consequences of the contractor's insolvency. The direct awards will only cover work packages that were already within the approved project scope and would have been undertaken irrespective of the contractor failure. No additional services, scope extensions or material changes to the contract, noting that some minor variations will likely occur for some packages but will be small in nature and not materially change the overarching scope, enhancement works, or new project requirements will be included. This ensures that the direct awards remain proportionate and confined to addressing the urgent circumstances that have arisen. Accordingly, any direct awards made under this justification will be restricted to the completion of the subcontractors' existing work packages and associated obligations. The direct awards will not be used to procure additional services, expand the scope of works (as above), or award unrelated future phases of the project.
