Contract Tenders: 15/04/2025
From bold regeneration visions to essential home upgrades, this week’s social housing tenders reveal the projects shaping the future of UK living—your next opportunity starts here.
Breaking ground in West Leeds, Leeds City Council has launched a significant £185m procurement for responsive repairs, void services, and cyclical maintenance across 20,500 dwellings. This 60-month initiative excludes gas and asbestos work but covers full refurbishments where required, including kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, and structural elements—aligned with decant protocols and damp policy compliance. A multi-lot measured term contract from Dalmuir Park Housing Association offers a £1.25m investment into kitchen, bathroom, window, door, and gas boiler replacements. Scheduled over a core 36-month period with potential extensions, this phased programme invites specialists to upgrade homes across West Dunbartonshire, with staggered lot values ranging from £250K to £500K.
Aspire Housing Limited signals early market engagement for a proposed Repairs and Maintenance Framework spanning the North West and West Midlands. With internal capacity stretched during peak periods, the 72-month framework aims to complement its in-house team of 130 operatives—focusing on responsive repairs, void works, and damp mitigation. Lambeth London Borough outlines two upcoming procurements: one for asbestos removal in communal areas, and another for wider housing maintenance contracts covering communal gas and water systems, lift maintenance, and responsive electrical works. Both fall under 48-month terms and highlight Lambeth’s continued infrastructure focus.
Fire safety comes into focus as Citizen launches a £10m pipeline for a group-wide fire door replacement and repair programme across the West Midlands and South West. Spanning 60 months, this opportunity will standardize safety upgrades across its property portfolio. One of the UK’s most ambitious regeneration efforts surfaces in Newcastle as Homes England seeks a long-term delivery partner for the Forth Yards redevelopment. This £950m gross development value project will transform 21 hectares into a new neighbourhood with up to 2,500 homes and 15,000 sqm of commercial space—requiring place-making vision, infrastructure delivery, and long-term commitment from private sector partners.
Also on the residential front, Eastleigh Borough Council outlines a £53.3m pipeline to deliver 193 new homes at Kings Copse Avenue. The scheme is expected to go live in 2026, adding significant volume to the borough’s housing pipeline. A tangible build opportunity arises in Goldthorpe, where Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is tendering a £2.77m project to construct nine homes and deliver complementary public realm enhancements. The 12-month programme targets semi-detached and detached family housing in South Yorkshire.
Closing out the list, Citizen is preparing a £2m framework for scaffolding works to support planned maintenance and refurbishments. This 49-month contract will be awarded to up to eight contractors and includes performance-based break clauses after years two and three.
