Supporting a Multi-Year External Works Procurement for a UK Housing Environment

Tijani & Co supported a confidential procurement and commercial assessment relating to the delivery of groundworks, fencing, clearance and communal area improvement works across a UK housing environment.

The requirement centred on securing a capable supplier for a multi-year external works programme with an estimated value in excess of £2m. The programme was designed to improve the safety, usability and long-term condition of residential and communal spaces.

The procurement covered groundworks, fencing repairs, new installations, site clearance, excavation, preparation works and the improvement of communal areas. The wider objective was to ensure that the appointed delivery partner could provide safe, compliant, sustainable and cost-effective works while supporting better outcomes for residents.

Client Context

The client required a supplier capable of delivering a broad package of external works across residential assets and shared spaces.

Scope of Works

The scope included:

  • Groundworks and site preparation

  • Fencing repairs and new installations

  • Clearance, excavation and enabling works

  • Communal area improvements

  • Safe and operational external spaces for residents

  • Design input to reduce recurring site issues

  • Practical measures to help reduce environmental and anti-social behaviour risks

  • Sustainable removal and handling of spoil and site waste

The procurement carried an estimated value of over £2m and was expected to run over a multi-year period.

The Challenge

The procurement required more than a basic works contractor appointment.

The client needed a supplier that could demonstrate:

  • Health and safety compliance

  • Operational capability across multiple sites

  • Value for money

  • Sustainable delivery practices

  • Experience in live residential environments

  • Ability to influence practical design specifications

  • Resident-conscious working methods

  • Reliable handling of spoil, waste and site clearance

  • Capacity to deliver a long-term programme of works

The evaluation environment was competitive, with multiple suppliers submitting tenders and a strong SME presence in the market.

Tijani & Co provided commercial and procurement support focused on strengthening the assessment, positioning and delivery logic around the requirement.

Our work considered:

  • Scope clarity and service requirements

  • Supplier capability and delivery evidence

  • Commercial value and procurement risk

The focus was to ensure that the procurement approach supported a credible, compliant and commercially robust supplier appointment.

Key Commercial Considerations

The procurement required careful balancing of cost, quality, compliance and operational deliverability.

Supplier Capability

The supplier needed to show practical capability across residential and communal environments, including safe working methods, appropriate resourcing and the ability to manage multiple work locations.

Value for Money

The assessment considered whether the proposed approach offered value for money across the full contract period, not just at the point of award.

Health, Safety and Compliance

The works required a strong health and safety approach, particularly because the activity related to residential spaces, communal areas, site clearance, fencing and excavation.

Sustainability

Sustainable spoil removal, waste handling and responsible site management were important parts of the delivery requirement.

Resident and Community Impact

The works needed to support safer, more usable communal areas and reduce issues that may contribute to poor resident experience or anti-social behaviour.

Outcome

The procurement concluded with the appointment of a supplier for a multi-year works contract valued at approximately £2m+.

The final solution supported the client’s objectives around:

  • Safe and compliant works delivery

  • Improved communal and external areas

  • Better operational reliability across housing assets

  • Sustainable handling of site materials and spoil

  • Value for money across the contract term

  • A structured supplier appointment following a competitive process

The result was a commercially grounded procurement outcome for a long-term external works programme.

Impact

The assignment helped support a procurement process with clear emphasis on:

  • Compliance

  • Safety

  • Value for money

  • Supplier capability

  • Sustainable delivery

  • Resident-focused outcomes

  • Long-term operational effectiveness

This case demonstrates Tijani & Co’s ability to support procurement and commercial decision-making where the requirement is practical, operationally sensitive and commercially material.
