Summary of the contracting process

Citizen Housing Group Ltd procured the supply and installation of ventilation systems across its housing stock in the West Midlands. The work covers all property types, including high-rise buildings, with systems installed in walls, ceilings or windows. The requirement is for ventilation installation works across the group’s properties, rather than supply alone. The procurement was divided into separate routes for high-rise properties, other property types and all property types; the contracts awarded cover the all-property-types scope. This is relevant to ventilation contractors able to install systems across varied housing stock, including high-rise homes, and to deliver work in occupied or void properties as required by responsive repairs programmes.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded to Mouldex Limited and Volution Ventilation UK Limited, trading as Airtech Solutions, both for the all-property-types lot. Each contract is recorded at £6 million; the procurement description says £6 million including VAT is the estimated total across both contracts, including optional extensions, and is not guaranteed spend. Both contracts were signed on 30 September 2026. The stated initial term is 24 months, with an option to extend by a further 24 months. Citizen used its Procurement for Housing dynamic purchasing system for responsive repairs, voids and associated works, through a limited procedure without a prior competition notice. Two bids were received for the all-property-types lot and both were awarded. Evaluation used Citizen’s Price per Quality Point method, including technical questions and a pricing document; the other two lots received no bids.

This award shows demand from Citizen Housing Group for ventilation installation across its housing portfolio, including high-rise properties and a range of other home types. Suppliers competing for similar future work would need the capability to supply and fit systems in walls, ceilings or windows, and to manage delivery across varied housing settings. The process awarded both bids submitted for the all-property-types scope, while the separate high-rise-only and non-high-rise scopes attracted no bids. Credible competitors should therefore be able to cover the broader property mix rather than only one segment, and should prepare strong technical responses alongside competitive pricing: Citizen assessed bids through its Price per Quality Point approach, using technical questions and a pricing document. Both successful suppliers were recorded as SMEs.
