### Procurement Information

In January 2023 Birmingham City Council (the Council) commenced a procurement for the provision of Responsive Repairs and Maintenance Services, Gas and Heating Servicing, Capital Improvement Work including Major Adaptions and Retrofit Works to Council Housing Stock (approximately 60,000 properties), contract reference P0787, for the value of PS1.4 billion which was advertised on the Find a Tender Service, notice reference number 2023/S 000-001326. The intention of that procurement was to source two contractors, one for each lot for a five year contract with the option to extend for a further five years. The procurement was conducted under the competitive procedure with negotiation. The procurement proceeded through the SQ stage to the ISIT (Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders) stage. The Council took the decision to abandon the procurement in August 2023 following receipt of initial tender submissions, when the commercial evaluation presented challenges due to the scale and scope of the works required. In addition, as a result of work which the Council had carried out since the tender had been published regarding its capital programme, there had been a significant increase in the volume and values of works required. The Council undertook an objective assessment of its options and reached the conclusion that entering into negotiations with its two incumbent providers to secure interim contracts for a two year period would best meet its needs. The negotiations have focused on securing better value for money for the Council through a reduction in cost, service continuity and improvement in resident services, a more balanced approach to risk, increased throughput of the planned programme and a new approach for materials supply. The Council will rely on Reg 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 in awarding these contracts, where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator where competition is absent for technical reasons. The decision taken to work with the incumbents was due to the Council's view that competition is absent in this particular case due to the time required to mobilise and transition to new contractors in time for the new contracts to commence from the 1st April 2024. The award of these interim contracts will provide the Council sufficient time to undertake a service review, re-procure long-term contracts, mobilise and exit/transition and for these reasons believes that no other suppliers could meet the Council's requirements during this interim contract period.
