Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured a void management and energy supplier partnership service for its empty homes and properties being re-let. The service covers the Council’s housing stock and is intended to provide a comprehensive arrangement for managing void properties alongside the supply of electricity and gas. The number of properties covered can vary with housing demand, the take-up of lets and the size of the Council’s housing portfolio. The Council was willing to consider either an energy supplier delivering the service directly or a specialist void-management provider working with energy suppliers. The work is centred on Dundee City Council’s housing portfolio in Dundee.

The procurement has been awarded and a contract is active. Helpthemove Ltd was selected as the single service provider for the Council’s void stock, with an award value of £154,000. The award information records two bids. The stated procurement approach was an invitation to quote. The requirement was evaluated through that quotation process, although the available process details do not set out specific scoring criteria. The contract is for the entire Council housing portfolio rather than separate lots, and the number of properties may fluctuate over the term. The award information does not give an award date or a contract duration, so neither can be stated here.

This award demonstrates demand from Dundee City Council for a provider able to manage empty homes and support re-letting while coordinating electricity and gas supply. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to cover the Council’s housing portfolio as a whole, while handling changing volumes as properties become vacant and are let. The buyer considered both energy suppliers able to deliver the service directly and specialist void-management firms able to partner with energy suppliers, so either model could be relevant if it can provide the full service. Suppliers should be able to show practical capacity to manage property voids and establish preferred energy-supplier arrangements across a public housing portfolio; the selected provider indicates the type of service model that met the Council’s requirement.
