Scope
Description
Portsmouth City Council (the Council) is seeking to procure repairs and maintenance services for its housing stock through two individual contracts, with a combined total value in the region of £36M per annum.
To meet the distinct geographical and logistical needs of service delivery, the procurement will result in two separate contract awards, one for properties located on "on-island" and one for those located ''off-island''. The successful contractors will be expected to deliver a responsive, high-quality service that ensures safe, well-maintained homes for residents while demonstrating value for money and alignment with the Council's strategic objectives.
Each individual contract has an estimated annual value between £14M to £18M based on current historic spend. The contracts will be let for an initial base term of five years, with the option to extend for up to a further five years in intervals to be agreed.
Based on anticipated inflationary uplifts and potential growth in housing stock, the total individual contract spends over the potential 10-year term (5-year base with options to extend) is expected to range between £168M and £225M. Therefore, based on current market conditions, the total combine spend over the 10-year lifetime of both contracts could be in the region of £336M to £450M. The impacts of Local Government Review have not been considered in this current value and the likely increases in the total value of the opportunity, brought about through the reform, will be addressed when the formal tender notice is issued.
The Council now intends to undertake a procurement process inline with the following summary programme -
• Repairs & Maintenance
o Tender - May/June 2026
