Westminster City Council has launched a major procurement programme covering responsive repairs, voids and planned major works across its 21,000-home housing portfolio.


The programme has an estimated total value of £746 million and forms part of the Council's wider strategy to re-procure a series of long-term housing maintenance and capital works contracts currently delivered through existing Term Partnering Contracts.


The procurement is being delivered under the Procurement Act 2023 using a Competitive Flexible Procedure and will form part of a new Strategic Alliance Agreement based on the FAC-1 Framework Alliance model.


Project Overview

  • 145 high-rise residential buildings

  • 43% leasehold properties

  • 57% tenanted homes

  • 41% of housing stock located within conservation areas

  • 17% listed buildings


The Council is restructuring its housing maintenance and major works delivery model and intends to establish a strategic alliance of contractors responsible for maintaining and improving the housing estate over the coming decade.


The procurement forms the first tranche of a wider programme that will also include:

  • Planned Preventative Works Framework

  • Specialist Roofing Contracts

ConstructNet Opportunity Analysis

This procurement represents one of the most significant housing maintenance and major works opportunities currently active within the UK social housing sector.

Beyond the primary contractor opportunities, the programme is expected to generate extensive supply chain opportunities throughout the contract lifecycle.


Potential opportunities may emerge for:

  • Roofing contractors

  • M&E contractors

  • Lift specialists

  • Heating contractors

  • Joinery contractors

  • Planned maintenance specialists

  • Refurbishment contractors

  • Scaffolding providers

  • Resident liaison providers

  • Damp & mould specialists

  • Drainage contractors

  • Fire safety contractors

  • Building materials suppliers

  • Plant hire companies

  • Waste management providers


The scale of Westminster's housing stock, combined with the proposed 10-year contract duration, provides long-term visibility for contractors and suppliers operating within the housing maintenance, refurbishment and asset management sectors.

The forthcoming Planned Preventative Works Framework and specialist maintenance contracts may also present additional opportunities for businesses unable to participate directly in the primary contracts.
