Property Works · UK public procurement notice

These services involve the physical inspection of property assets to assess the condition of various building components, including the fabric, mechanical and electrical systems, and internal fixtures. The primary objective is to determine the remaining useful life of these elements and to develop a long-term capital investment plan. Suppliers in this lot must be capable of identifying defects, estimating repair costs, and evaluating the property against decency standards.

This lot covers the assessment and certification of the energy efficiency of domestic and non-domestic buildings. Beyond the basic production of EPCs, this lot often includes Retrofit Assessments in accordance with PAS 2035, helping landlords identify the most effective measures to improve thermal performance and achieve national net-zero targets. The consultancy aspect involves energy modelling and the development of strategies for decarbonisation.

Essential for health and safety compliance, this lot involves specialist inspections to identify fire hazards and evaluate the adequacy of existing fire precautions. Following the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022, the scope of these assessments has expanded to include the common parts of buildings and external wall systems. Assessments are categorised by the complexity of the building, with high-rise and high risk buildings requiring advanced level competence under the BS 8674 framework.

This lot encompasses major building works, including the construction of extensions, structural repairs to load-bearing walls, and multi-dwelling residential construction. These works are often complex and require coordination with structural engineering consultants and rigorous adherence to building regulations and planning permissions.

Focused on the external envelope of the building, this lot covers the maintenance, repair, and replacement of roofing systems, roofline components (fascias, soffits, and gutters), and the installation of high-performance windows and doors. These works are critical for preventing water ingress and improving the overall energy efficiency of the building.

This lot includes hard and soft landscaping services intended to maintain and improve the external environment. Services range from the installation of paving and asphalt for driveways and car parks to general horticultural works, fencing, and the creation of green communal areas.

Critical for the health and safety of the site, this lot covers the installation and repair of below-ground drainage systems, including pipes, manholes, and septic tanks. It also includes general groundworks, such as excavations for foundations and the installation of surface water management systems.

This lot focuses on the aesthetic and technical performance of the building's exterior walls. Services include the application of external rendering, the repointing of brickwork, and the installation of External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems, which are key to improving the thermal mass of older property stock.

This lot covers the comprehensive replacement and refurbishment of kitchens and bathrooms. Services include the fitting of units, worktops, and sanitary ware, alongside the necessary plumbing, tiling, and flooring works associated with these major internal upgrades.

A multi-disciplinary lot covering the final stages of internal refurbishment, including joinery (skirting boards, architraves), carpentry, plastering, and professional painting and decorating.

This lot covers the provision of comprehensive responsive, reactive, and emergency repair services across the Contracting Authority's property portfolio. The primary objective is to maintain properties to a high standard, ensuring they remain safe, secure, and fully functional for occupants.

Services encompass a wide variety of day-to-day maintenance tasks including emergency repairs, urgent responses, routine maintenance, out-of-hours callouts, and minor void works. Bidders must be capable of delivering or managing a multi-trade workforce covering plumbing, electrical, joinery, roofing, and general building finishes, while prioritising rapid response times and a high first-time fix rate.

This lot covers the full scope of electrical engineering and installation works. Services includes (but is not limited to) the installation of consumer units (fuse boards), full and partial rewiring, the fitting of lighting and power sockets, and the testing and inspection of existing installations to ensure compliance with BS 7671.

Focused on maintaining high-quality indoor air and thermal conditions, this lot covers the installation and maintenance of gas central heating systems, including boilers, radiators, and controls. It also includes ventilation services, such as the installation of extractor fans and mechanical heat recovery systems to mitigate damp and mould.

Supporting the decarbonisation of the energy supply, this lot involves the installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules and associated electrical infrastructure. This includes the fitting of panels on various roof types, the installation of inverters, and, increasingly, the integration of battery storage systems to maximise the use of generated electricity.

This lot covers the transition from fossil-fuel heating to low-carbon alternatives. The scope includes the design, installation, and maintenance of both air-source and ground-source heat pump systems. These installations often require upgrades to the property's electrical supply and the resizing of internal radiators to operate at lower flow temperatures.

This lot covers the installation and maintenance of dedicated charging points for electric vehicles (EVs). The services range from simple domestic wall-box installations to the deployment of more complex charging infrastructure in communal residential and commercial parking environments.

These services are essential for supporting independent living for elderly or disabled residents. The scope includes the installation of level-access showers (wet rooms), ramps, grab rails, and widening doorways to improve wheelchair access. It also covers the installation, modernisation, and ongoing maintenance of passenger lifts, platform lifts, and stairlifts. These works are often funded through Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs) and require close coordination with occupational therapists.

This lot is dedicated to the identification, management, and safe removal of hazardous substances, with a primary focus on asbestos. The services are highly regulated and must be carried out by licensed contractors under strict controlled conditions to prevent the release of dangerous fibres.

The final lot covers the installation of perimeter fencing, gates, and external safety equipment. This includes security fencing for sensitive sites, decorative railings for communal areas, and the installation of safety bollards and barriers to manage vehicle and pedestrian movements.
