Tender: Swindon Borough Council Vacant Property Repairs (Voids) Framework – 24‑Month Term (Est. Jan 2027)

About

Swindon Borough Council is seeking suppliers to contribute to Preliminary Market Engagement for a framework to deliver vacant property repairs (voids) across its housing stock. The Council intends to appoint up to three contractors to provide refurbishment, maintenance, repair and improvement works—ranging from minor repairs to full property renovations—to return void properties to Swindon’s Re-let standard over an initial 24‑month period with an option to extend by up to 12 months, with an estimated contract start date of 14 January 2027. The Council manages about 10,500 homes and reports roughly 600 voids a year; approximately 250 are refurbished in‑house and around 175 by an existing term contractor, with the proposed framework expected to cover the remaining circa 175 properties per year. The estimated framework annual value is £2,134,490.00. The PME seeks market insight on market interest, capacity, mobilisation, insurances and pricing, and the exercise closes at 16:00 on 25 September 2026 with all completed questionnaires to be submitted by that time.
