How Platform Housing Limited buys Technical inspection and testing services (CPV 7163), and who usually turns up
Platform Housing Limited’s published record next to the market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Technical inspection and testing services (CPV 7163) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in West Midlands (authority’s region).
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
Half of these awards have an award date within 49 days of the bid deadline.
i
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

The following engagement will take place for the 3 workstreams:
Workstream 1: Legionella risk assessments:
Interested parties are invited to complete a questionnaire via this link - wkf.ms/4y9h4a5 ↗
Workstream 2: On-site monitoring and remedials and Workstream 3: Remote monitoring:
Instead of a questionnaire we invite interested parties to 45 minute teams meetings to discuss the two workstreams. We are particularly interested in understanding the remote monitoring. Platform have not previously used remote monitoring and therefore would like to understand it more. Any information gathered as part of the pre-market will be used to inform our specification. Please register your interest in these meetings here wkf.ms/4iT1UBE ↗.
Workstream specific, the areas we are interested in for these meetings are:
W2 - On site monitoring and remedial works:
- How do ensure that monitoring taking place covers all parts of the system?
- How do you ensure that exceptions raised are accurate and relevant?
- What's your system in place to ensure that the correct checks are undertaken on the correct frequency?
W3 - Remote monitoring:
- How does your remote monitoring system meet the needs of legionella monitoring on site?
- Can your system do anything other than temperature monitoring?
- What are the key components required both on site and desktop based for your system to work?
- How does your system communicate from site? Is it based on a fixed wired connection or remote?
- Is there a contractual minimum number of assets required for remote systems to be installed?
