Contract Tenders: 09/04/2025
From precision fire remedials to visionary supply partnerships, today’s UK social housing tenders unveil a powerful pipeline of upgrades—City of York leads with bold investments in homes of the future.
Crafted for quality and comfort, the latest tender from Key Housing Association Ltd. involves a comprehensive Window and Door Replacement project across Nairn and Alness. Set over a 6-month period, this contract encompasses the upgrade of windows and doors in 30 properties and several communal entrances. The works require the installation of high-performance timber aluminium-clad reversible windows and composite doors, contributing to the enhanced energy efficiency and safety of social housing stock. Though the total value listed is zero, the expected Year 1 spend is approximately £310k including VAT, offering substantial business for experienced suppliers in this niche.
A strategic pipeline of capital works has been announced by City of York Council through multiple high-value procurement notices spanning various aspects of housing infrastructure. At the forefront is a substantial £48m Damp Surveying and Remedial Works Framework over four years, aimed at appointing two contractors to tackle persistent damp issues. Alongside this, an £8m Construction of Housing at the Former Willow House seeks to revitalise a key site into much-needed homes. Fire safety enhancements feature strongly in a £4.6m Planned Fire Remedials contract, while a £3.3m Mechanical and Electrical Framework is being re-procured for multidisciplinary M&E works. In terms of structural upgrades, the council is commissioning a £3.3m External Wall and Balcony Flooring project, a £3.3m contract for Timber Windows and Doors, and a £1.66m Planned Roofing Programme covering flat and pitched roofs over a five-year term. Rounding off this strategic procurement wave is a £333k contract for the Construction of Supported Housing at Lowfield Plot A, dedicated to providing specialist homes for adults with learning disabilities and autism. These combined opportunities highlight the council’s ambitious agenda to modernise, maintain, and expand its housing stock in line with safety, sustainability, and inclusion goals.
Essential maintenance meets community needs with the Replacement of Existing Tiled Roofs to 20 Flats at Beili Glas, procured by Swansea City and County. This 9-month project includes gable end wall rebuilds, window and door renewals, chimney removals, and full roof replacement. While no budget is disclosed, interested parties are encouraged to register via Sell2Wales for full access to tender documents and updates. Ambition and innovation define Caerphilly County Borough Council’s call for a Supply Partner – Building Materials and Associated Services and Supplies. Set over a staggering 120 months, this long-term strategic partnership aims to support the delivery of the Welsh Housing Quality Standards (WHQS) and decarbonisation objectives across Caerphilly Homes’ portfolio of 10,600 homes. With a scope covering response repairs, major refurbishments, voids, and more, this procurement is less about cost and more about commitment—offering a platform for forward-thinking suppliers to shape the future of sustainable social housing in Wales.
