Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured gas appliance servicing to meet an urgent requirement for 1,950 gas services, alongside additional ad-hoc work. The services were intended for properties in Basingstoke and Eastleigh. VIVID said the requirement arose because it lacked in-house capacity to complete the work. This is a housing maintenance services requirement, focused on gas appliance servicing rather than wider property repairs or general facilities management.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Signix Ltd. The award was made on 7 October 2026, and the contract was signed on 7 October 2026. Its stated value is £150,000. VIVID used a limited procedure and made a direct award through ProcurePublic’s Heating Framework 2025, without a prior call for competition. The stated evaluation basis was price. One bid was recorded. The requirement was described as 1,950 gas services plus ad-hoc requirements; no contract duration is stated.

For suppliers aiming to compete for similar VIVID work, this award indicates demand for the delivery of a substantial volume of gas appliance servicing, with capacity to handle additional ad-hoc requirements and cover properties in both Basingstoke and Eastleigh. VIVID’s stated lack of in-house capacity and urgent need point to the importance of being able to mobilise quickly and deliver the required service volume. The selected supplier was appointed through ProcurePublic’s Heating Framework 2025, so access to that framework was the route used for this award. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive pricing central to the outcome. The requirement is specifically gas servicing; broader housing maintenance capability alone would not match its focus.
