## Summary

Cardiff Council is initiating a procurement process to establish a "Framework for a Pool of Small Contractors," focusing on construction works. This opportunity falls under the works category and primarily targets the Cardiff region, identified as UKL22 in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the process being outlined and a future notice tentatively scheduled for 14 December 2026. The framework aims to engage multiple contractors for tasks associated with bringing void properties up to standard, with some assignments also taking place in occupied properties. The projected contract period begins on 1 August 2027 and may last until 31 July 2031, subject to potential renewal, with an estimated gross contract value of £4,320,000.

This framework offers robust growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector looking to expand their portfolios by collaborating with a prominent council such as Cardiff. The nature of the work, involving both void and occupied properties, requires adaptability and a diverse skill set within the construction field, making it ideal for contractors who specialise in flexible and bespoke property repair and maintenance services. The framework agreement will provide a steady stream of assignments, allowing businesses the chance to secure ongoing work and build lasting relationships with the council's Voids and Responsive Repairs Units.

## Notice

The Council's Voids Team manage the works being delivered to bring void properties up to a standard for a new tenancy. As a property becomes vacant, a Technical Manager from the Voids Team visits the property and assesses the repair requirements and creates a schedule of works required. The Council is seeking to engage multiple Contractors to create a pool, who can be called upon to complete specific work activities to assist the in house team. Whilst the work is predominantly in vacant properties, there will be some work in occupied properties which will be instructed by the Responsive Repairs Unit.
