The project, classified under the industry category of works, has an estimated maximum term value of £6.5 million. The procurement involves replacing kitchen and bathroom fittings across approximately 300-500 homes, primarily in Maidenhead but extending to other areas such as Reading, Farnborough, and Wokingham. The planned contract term is three years, starting from 1st April 2026, with an option to extend for an additional two years on a 1+1 basis. The procurement method is open and follows a competitive flexible procedure, with submissions to be made via the MyTenders portal. Prospective bidders must submit their applications by 15th August 2025, and the contract award is anticipated by the end of December 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in kitchen and bathroom installations, particularly those familiar with the Howdens brand, although alternative brand options are permitted. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. The procurement process includes a quality assessment, presentations/site visits, and pricing negotiations, providing a balanced emphasis on quality and price. By engaging in this contracting opportunity, businesses can expand their market reach within the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire regions, gain a foothold with a reputable public undertaking, and secure a contract with potential for extensions and additional work through competitive pricing and service excellence. Businesses adept at managing large-scale projects with efficient planning and execution within specified KPIs, such as timely installations and high customer satisfaction, would be well-positioned to compete. ## Notice Scope and delivery of the work The work consists of replacement kitchens and bathrooms. We need a contractor to supply and fit these consistent with the specification attached and in the case of kitchen replacements, liaise with both Housing Solutions and the kitchen supplier to carry out joint design surveys. We currently install Howdens kitchens (Greenwich Range) and will most likely continue to fit these. We do not have a direct relationship with Howdens and expect you to negotiate your own prices with them and allow for the supply in your basket rate. We assume you will engage a Resident Liaison Officer (RLO) and will liaise directly with the residents regarding, surveys, installation dates, general updates, correspondents, access arrangements and any issues that arise before, during and after the works. Programme scale and duration We intend appointing for an initial contract period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further two years on a 1 + 1 basis. We operate a two year budget but estimate our 2026-27 - 2028-29 budget will be up to PS4m for kitchens and bathrooms and we expect to maintain similar budgets in future years. Therefore we estimate the max term spend to be up to PS6.5m. Geographical distribution Housing Solutions was originally formed from transferred Local Authority homes in Maidenhead. These still form the majority of our homes, although there are post-1995 developments in Reading, High Wycombe, Slough, Bracknell, Farnborough, Wokingham, and other locations in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Our 2026-27 programme could consist of approximately 300-500 homes across our estate. Around 70% of our stock are within the Maidenhead area, however there are some homes in other areas like Reading, Farnborough, Wokingham, Slough, Windsor, Bracknell. Programming We will leave programming of the work to you. We may have a small number of high-priority cases needing to be done earlier, but in general we would give you our address list for each financial year (April to March) and you can determine your own programme to deliver it. We expect that once work on an individual property have commenced, they are completed within 10 working days for kitchens and 8 working days for bathrooms where practicable and these targets will form part of the KPI suite. The priority is to give the tenant clear timescales, which are met. We would expect essential services (kitchen sink, heating, electricity gas and water) to be restored at the end of each working day. CDM We will appoint the Quoin Consultancy as Principal Designer, you will be appointed Principal Contractor. We assume you will prepare the key documents and Quoin will check them against the regulations.
