## Summary

Cardiff Council has initiated a tender process for a "Framework for Repairs and Maintenance to Domestic Vacant Properties" in Cardiff, UK. The tender falls under the "works" category, specifically concerning housing and community amenities. This selective procurement, using a restricted procedure, aims to secure contractors for a 2-year contract starting from 1st January 2026, with an option to extend for an additional 2 years. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically by 21st March 2025, with the invitation to tender commencing on 14th April 2025. The estimated total contract value is £22 million, with the Council seeking to appoint two contractors who will handle various repair and maintenance tasks across unoccupied properties within Cardiff.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, maintenance, and renovation services, such as carpentry, plumbing, electrics, and masonry. Smaller enterprises and subcontractors also stand to benefit due to the Council's requirement to source from a pool of small external contractors, allowing for diverse business engagement. The framework’s allocation system—awarding a greater portion of the work to one contractor—provides stability and predictability for those selected. The inclusion of community benefit clauses underscores the socio-economic value, encouraging businesses capable of delivering high-quality work while supporting the Council's broader economic and social objectives.
