## Summary

Stockport Homes Limited, in collaboration with Three Sixty SHG Limited, has concluded a procurement process for the delivery of social value through collaborative resourcing of capital works, focusing specifically on industrial and technical training services. This process, aimed at enhancing employment and training opportunities within the housing and community amenities sector, was conducted under a limited procurement method. The award notice was published on 24 September 2025, with an associated contract valued at £8,000,000 signed on 18 September 2025. The contract, initially covering three years with an extension option up to five years, covers services across the United Kingdom, particularly emphasising the Stockport region.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in integrating vocational training and construction works, emphasising socio-economic goals such as social justice and addressing regional inequalities. B4Box Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Stockport, was awarded this contract due to its unique ability to deliver the required integrated services, highlighting a notable success for SMEs capable of providing specialised, comprehensive service solutions within the framework of limited competition. Businesses with expertise in delivering employment, training, and construction services, especially those focusing on socially responsible outcomes, would find such opportunities well-suited to their offerings.

### Procurement Information

The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations. Explanation: SHG is committed to maximising employment, skills and training opportunities for residents of the Borough, it's customers and particularly to ensuring outcomes from employment, skills and training opportunities are realistic, tailored and sustained. The primary aims of the proposed contract are to seek to promote social justice, tackle poverty, address inequalities and climate change and the services/works are provided in furtherance of these aims. SHG requires the provision of employment and training services, focussed on opportunities for employment and training (including pre-employment training, training and education in a classroom setting and on-the-job training) through work on SHG's void properties, capital works on SHG's housing stock and other works opportunities. SHG issued a prior information notice (PIN) on Find a Tender (ref 2024/S 000-029661) to seek EOI in an integrated works and services contract providing vocational training services (including delivery of the above employment and training outcomes) through the medium of construction works described above. Economic operators that expressed an interest were asked to provide information on their experience and expertise in providing the above-described integrated works and services, or similar, by responding to a questionnaire. Questionnaire responses sought to understand the extent to which economic operators were capable of delivering social value outcomes through integrated works and training and employment services together, with an understanding of the needs to ensure health and safety and other regulatory requirements were met in the delivery of works, alongside appropriate safeguarding of SHG' customers when works are delivered to occupied properties, while simultaneously providing successful social value outcomes in particular for beneficiaries of the training and employment services. Responses demonstrated that economic operators were capable of delivery of parts of SHG's stated requirements. SHG's review of responses received to the PIN concluded that the integrated works and services can be supplied by one economic operator. Only one response to the PIN demonstrated an ability to deliver both works and services together in an integrated manner which is critical to the delivery of the social value outcomes. SHG has determined that a procedure under Reg.32 of the PCR 2015 (use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication) is required to enable SHG to negotiate an integrated services and works contract with the single economic operator. SHG considers that the negotiated procedure without prior publication is required under the following grounds: - regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) (the works and services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator because competition is absent for technical reasons): the outcome of market testing demonstrates that competition is absent for technical reasons, that particularly there is only one economic operator with the expertise to deliver against SHG's requirements. Delivery of either (i) employability and training services or (ii) construction works in isolation does not achieve SHG's objectives, only one economic operator could deliver all SHG's requirements in an integrated fashion; and - regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) (the works and services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator to ensure the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights): the identified economic operator has intellectual property rights in its delivery model that are required to be protected. SHG requires an integrated approach to works and services delivery to achieve its stated social value outcomes. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists to deliver against SHG's requirements, the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
