## Summary

VIVID Housing Ltd procured employers’ agent and contract administration services for its retrofit contractors. The work is construction consultancy focused on overseeing and administering retrofit contracts, supporting the housing provider’s delivery of retrofit activity. Delivery covers the South East and South West of England. The buyer is a public-law housing organisation based in Portsmouth. The requirement was structured as a single service package covering employers’ agent duties and contract administration for the retrofit contractor supply chain. It is relevant to construction consultancies, employers’ agents and contract administration specialists with experience supporting housing retrofit programmes and coordinating the delivery of works across more than one region.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the contract awarded through the ProcurePublic framework. The stated rationale was extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events, and the award basis was price. Martin Arnold Limited was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £1,312,830. The tender was described as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the associated award remains active. The available outcome information identifies the supplier and signed contract but does not provide a contract end date.

This award demonstrates demand from VIVID Housing Ltd for specialist employers’ agent and contract administration support within a retrofit delivery programme. A credible competitor for similar work would need to manage retrofit contractors on the buyer’s behalf, administer construction contracts effectively and provide consultancy suitable for housing-related works. The requirement also indicates that suppliers may need to operate across the South East and South West of England rather than at one site. The selected supplier was a large organisation, and the only recorded evaluation basis was price, so future competitors would need strong commercial competitiveness alongside demonstrable capability in employers’ agent services, retrofit delivery oversight and construction contract administration.
