In plain English
Aster Group, a housing association with over 37,000 homes across southern England and London, wants three contractors to carry out external decorating and minor repairs on its properties. The contract is estimated at £31.5 million, split into three regional lots, with a target start in May 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Redecorate all previously painted external surfaces and internal common parts, plus minor external repairs such as fascias, soffits, timber canopies, repointing of brickwork and timber window repairs. • Carry out minor prep repairs before painting and renew communal floor finishes where required. • Complete mobilisation by May 2027, including onboarding to Aster's Approved Supplier List, familiarity with its Contractor Portal, and a fully resourced programme ready at contract start. Staff transfer under TUPE.
Lots
- Lot 1 (East)
- Lot 2 (London and Outer Areas)
- Lot 3 (West)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Most small businesses would likely be ruled out by the scale of the work, as each lot covers roughly 3,000 to 18,000 properties, the contract must be accessed through the CHIC All Under One Roof DPS (Lot 20), and existing staff transfer under TUPE.
