## Summary

VIVID Housing Ltd procured employers’ agent and contract administration services for its retrofit contractors. The requirement covers construction consultancy support, including acting as the employers’ agent for retrofit works and administering the related contractor contracts. Delivery is across South East and South West England. The buying organisation is a public-law housing provider based in Portsmouth. This is relevant to construction consultancies, employers’ agents and contract administration practices able to support housing retrofit programmes across more than one English region. The requirement is focused on managing and administering retrofit delivery rather than carrying out the retrofit works themselves, so firms whose primary role is construction installation may be relevant mainly where they also provide consultancy or contract-management services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, using the ProcurePublic framework. The stated rationale was extreme urgency arising from unforeseeable events, and the buyer said the framework award was compliant. Price was the award criterion. The single lot was subsequently marked cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded for Potter Raper Limited. The contract value is £1,142,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026. One bid was recorded for the lot. No contract duration or end date is stated in the procurement information.

This award is useful market evidence for firms targeting VIVID Housing Ltd’s retrofit programme and similar future employers’ agent requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide employers’ agent services and contract administration for retrofit contractors, with the capacity to coordinate delivery across South East and South West England. The procurement was routed through the ProcurePublic framework, so framework access and compliance would be commercially important for any firm pursuing the same buying route. The evaluation used price, indicating that cost control and a clearly competitive commercial model matter. The selected supplier was a large organisation, suggesting that the requirement can suit businesses with substantial delivery capacity and the systems to manage a sizeable housing retrofit consultancy commission.
