Responsive repairs, Void Refurbishment and Planned Works Programme

St Albans City and District Council · Local authority

In brief

St Albans City and District Council is looking for suppliers for construction and building maintenance work (East of England).

It is a framework worth up to £200,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, up to 10 years with extensions, starting 1 October 2027.

It is split into 2 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

This is the first stage: register your interest by 5pm, Friday 11 December 2026, and shortlisted suppliers are invited to bid.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £200,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The provision of day-to-day responsive repairs, void repairs, gas repairs, various statutory compliance services including electrical installation testing and remedial works, water hygiene testing, door entry system maintenance; and a programme of planned capital investment works to the housing stock. The works and services comprising the proposed Procurement are set out in more detail at Section 6 of this Notice, and are further described in the CPV Codes and the Associated Tender Documents available from the e-tendering Portal shown at http://in-tendhost.co.uk/pspslprocurement/aspx/Home
