In plain English
STAR Housing (a housing association in Shropshire) is setting up a framework of pre-approved contractors to handle property repairs, maintenance, refurbishment and improvements across their housing stock. Instead of running separate tenders each time, they want to panel qualified suppliers who can be called off quickly for work when needed.
What the buyer wants
• Provide major works, repairs, maintenance and refurbishment services across eight specialist areas: Electrical, Mechanical, Major Works & Voids, Healthy Homes (adaptations and damp remediation), Drainage, Pest Control, Tree Works, Scaffolding and Waste Management • Demonstrate technical capability, financial standing and operational capacity to deliver work safely and to consistent quality standards • Maximise use of local labour, apprenticeships and regional supply chains where appropriate
Lots
- Lot 1 - Electrical
- Lot 1b - Mechanical
- Lot 2 - Major Works and Major Voids
- Lot 3 - Healthy Homes
- Lot 4 - Drainage
- Lot 5 - Pest Control
- Lot 6 - Tree Works
- Lot 7 - Scaffolding
- Lot 8 - Waste Management
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
No estimated contract value is stated, which makes budgeting difficult. Small businesses without formal accreditation (SafeContractor, SSIP, or similar), financial statements, or relevant housing sector experience will struggle. Lot 2 (Major Works and Voids) is designed for one Principal Contractor handling large programmes, which will exclude most small firms unless they partner with a larger contractor.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
