In plain English

The UK government is setting up a dynamic purchasing system (a type of pre-approved supplier list) for all housing maintenance and repair work across both occupied and empty properties. Suppliers on this list can offer everything from routine repairs and planned maintenance to specialist services like fire safety checks, electrical testing, asbestos management, and whole-home energy efficiency retrofits.

What the buyer wants

• Provide housing maintenance and repair services for both occupied tenanted properties and vacant/void properties • Offer both planned maintenance (scheduled work) and reactive maintenance (emergency/urgent repairs) • Provide compliance services including fire safety inspections, electrical testing, and asbestos management • Optionally offer whole-home retrofit services for energy efficiency and Net Zero goals (with PAS 2030/35 certification) • Optionally provide housing portfolio management services to handle move-ins/outs, property disposals, and centralised repair request management

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a £1.5 billion contract value framework running until 2029. Most small independent tradespeople or small repair firms will be unable to bid alone, as government expects framework suppliers to have significant capacity, multiple teams across regions, compliance infrastructure, and experience managing large housing portfolios.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
