Major Void Refurbishment

BACKGROUND TO NPH

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH) are an arm’s length management organisation, formed in January 2015 that manages over 11,500 homes on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC). Currently, NPH is a wholly owned subsidiary of WNC, a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) and a not-for-profit organisation. This means that our income is put back into providing housing, housing related service, and supporting the communities we work in.

Following a decision taken by WNC in November 2025, the services undertaken by NPH will be transitioned back under direct control of the Council. The current completion date for the transition of all services from NPH to the Council is by April 2027.

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

NPH are required to undertake void refurbishment works to bring properties up to the lettable standard when required before reletting them. We have external contracts in place which support this and which expire in December 2026.

As part of our early market engagement NPH are seeking interest from contractors who have experience and capacity in undertaking a range of general internal and external refurbishment works which may include (as examples):

General painting and decorating, electrical and plumbing works

Full or partial replacement of kitchen and bathrooms

External works (such as pavements, fencing, patios)

Flooring replacements

Due to the nature of void works these are responsive works with a fast response required to minimise void rent loss and maximise rental income for all properties which are managed by NPH.

The anticipated new contract will start from December 2026, and we are starting to plan out what is required of this new contract. It is anticipated the duration will 2 years, with an additional two years to be offered dependent on the needs of NPH and which will be based on performance, with the anticipated budget of approximately £4.5 million excl. vat per year across contractors.

This tender is due for publication during April 2026.
