Summary of the contracting process

Trust Housing Association Ltd bought responsive repairs and out-of-hours property works for its housing stock in the Highlands. The requirement covers property works carried out as needed, including repairs responding to faults and work outside normal hours. It is a property maintenance and repairs services opportunity, classified under CPV 50000000, and was arranged through the association’s purchasing role. The work relates to one requirement covering the Highlands area of Scotland. Businesses relevant to this market include housing maintenance contractors, building services firms and property repair specialists able to provide responsive attendance and out-of-hours coverage for housing properties. The requirement is for services rather than construction of a defined new asset or a supply of goods.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using a framework agreement. Cardo Group was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract value is £660,000. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The lot covered responsive repairs and out-of-hours property works as required for the Highlands. One bid was recorded, from an SME, submitted electronically; the award therefore followed a framework-based route rather than an open competition for this requirement. The arrangement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome identifies Cardo Group as the supplier for the full requirement, with no separate award values or contract periods stated.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the outcome demonstrates established demand from Trust Housing Association for responsive housing repairs and out-of-hours property works in the Highlands. A credible future competitor would need to deliver reactive maintenance reliably, organise attendance outside standard working hours and manage work arising as required across the area. The winning supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be served by a suitably capable specialist or regional contractor rather than only by a large national business. Suppliers should also understand how to access and operate through framework agreements, since this buyer used that route for the award. Relevant experience of maintaining occupied housing and coordinating urgent property work would strengthen a future proposition.
