What is being bought

Published requirement description

Amplius is preparing to undertake a procurement exercise to appoint suitably qualified Contractors and Consultants to deliver Major Repairs, including Damp and Mould Remedial Works, and Specialist Surveying Services across our housing stock within the Midlands, East and South East of England.

Amplius currently delivers repairs and maintenance services through a combination of Tier 1 contracted partners and our in‐house Repairs and Maintenance team. These existing arrangements provide the foundation of our day‐to‐day service delivery. The potential contracts described in this PME are intended to support and complement those existing arrangements by providing additional capacity, specialist skills, and local multi‐trade support when issues require multiple visits, coordinated trades, or specialist diagnostic input.

Amplius is seeking partners who can deliver these services reliably, safely and professionally, ensuring high‐quality technical standards and excellent customer care across all properties and communities within our operating regions.

We are particularly interested in engaging with Small and Medium‐Sized Enterprises (SMEs), including local and specialist suppliers operating within the Midlands, East of England and South East regions. We recognise the value that SMEs bring through local knowledge, flexibility, innovation and community impact. As part of this procurement exercise, we aim to create opportunities that enable SMEs to participate. We are committed to removing unnecessary barriers, supporting diverse market participation, and encouraging a supply chain that reflects the communities we serve.

Question for the bid
This buyerAmplius Living · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 14 of 29 known-size awards · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=1,207
48%56%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 22 of 41 known-location awards · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=1,161
54%51%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: no decision dates published · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=227
—48 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 48 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: at least 32 of 41 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=1,682
78%42%

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
