Tender: Aster Group External Decoration and Minor Repair Services – East, London & West Regions

About

Aster Group is seeking three contractors to deliver external decoration and associated minor repair services across its housing portfolio in the south of England and London. The scope includes redecoration of previously painted external surfaces and internal common parts, minor external fabric repairs (renewal of fascias and soffits to match existing, renewal of timber canopies, repointing of brickwork), minor pre-paint repairs, timber window repairs and renewal of communal floor finishes where required. The requirement is split into three lots with approximate property counts: Lot 1 (East) – Berkshire 205, Hampshire 8,416, Oxfordshire 612, Wiltshire (incl. Gloucestershire) 8,606; Lot 2 (London and Outer Areas) – London 1,969, Surrey 441, Sussex 736; Lot 3 (West) – Dorset 803, Somerset (incl. Bristol) 5,339, Devon and Cornwall 3,208 (property numbers are approximate and may include multi-dwelling properties). Suppliers may bid for multiple lots but one supplier will be awarded each lot; if a supplier ranks highest in more than one lot Aster may decide which lot to award to them and the next-ranked supplier will be awarded the other lot. Procurement is expected to be a single-stage tender via CHIC’s All Under One Roof DPS (Lot 20 - Decoration Services) with an anticipated 60/40 price/quality evaluation. Aster’s target mobilisation and contract start is May 2027, TUPE is applicable, contractors must be onboarded to Aster’s Approved Supplier List and familiar with its Contractor Portal, and Aster anticipates using the JCT Measured Term Contract (2024 edition) with Aster amendments.
