Ongo Homes Property Services Framework Now Live: Everything Suppliers Need to Know
The Ongo Homes Property Services Framework is now live, offering specialist contractors the opportunity to secure work across a wide range of property and environmental services.
With 10 specialist lots available, the framework is designed to appoint experienced suppliers capable of delivering high-quality services across Ongo Homes' housing stock and associated assets.
Whether you operate in cleaning, drainage, fencing, pest control, security or specialist property maintenance, now is the time to begin preparing your submission. The tender deadline is 17 August 2026, leaving a limited window to develop a compliant, evidence-led response.
At Bid Writing Service, we understand what it takes to succeed on housing association frameworks. In fact, during the previous Ongo Homes framework procurement, our team helped a client secure 12 out of 12 available lots, giving us valuable insight into what buyers are looking for when evaluating submissions.
Framework Overview
The Ongo Homes Property Services Framework has been established to provide a range of specialist services across Ongo Homes' property portfolio.
Suppliers can bid for one, several or all available lots, depending on their experience, resources and operational capacity.
The framework covers:
- Lot 1 – Specialist Cleaning
- Lot 2 – Specialist Clearance Services
- Lot 3 – Specialist Garden Clearance Services
- Lot 4 – Cleaning and Clearance One Stop Shop
- Lot 5 – Security Services
- Lot 6 – Pest Control Services
- Lot 7 – Drainage Works
- Lot 8 – Drainage Services
- Lot 9 – Render Cleaning Works
- Lot 10 – Fencing & Gate Works
This broad range of services creates opportunities for both specialist contractors and businesses capable of delivering multiple service areas under a single framework.
Key Procurement Dates
If you're planning to submit a bid, make sure these dates are firmly in your project plan.
Framework Released: 17th July 2026
Tender Deadline: 17th August 2026 (11.00am)
Framework Commencement: 12th October 2026
Framework End Date: 11th October 2028
What Will Ongo Homes Be Looking For?
While every framework has its own evaluation criteria, housing association procurements consistently focus on suppliers' ability to demonstrate both technical capability and reliable service delivery.
Expect your submission to evidence areas such as:
- Relevant experience delivering comparable contracts
- Mobilisation and implementation plans
- Health and Safety management
- Quality assurance procedures
- Resident engagement and customer service
- Environmental sustainability
- Social Value commitments
- Resource planning and operational capacity
- Relevant policies, accreditations and certifications
Buyers are looking for more than simple assurances. They want confidence that your organisation has the experience, systems and resources needed to deliver consistently throughout the life of the contract.
Choosing the Right Lots
One of the biggest advantages of the Ongo Homes framework is its flexibility.
Suppliers are not expected to bid for every lot. Instead, you should focus on the areas where your organisation can provide the strongest evidence and demonstrate the greatest expertise.
Submitting a smaller number of high-quality responses is often more effective than stretching resources across multiple lots without sufficient supporting evidence.
A clear bid strategy at the outset can significantly improve both efficiency and scoring potential.
Why Early Preparation Matters
Many suppliers underestimate the amount of work involved in preparing a competitive framework submission.
Before writing begins, you'll often need to review and update:
- Case studies
- Customer testimonials
- Policies and procedures
- Social Value commitments
- Organisational structure
- CVs and key personnel
- Contract examples
- Performance data and KPIs
Preparing these elements early allows your bid writers to focus on producing tailored, persuasive responses rather than spending valuable time chasing information.

I can not recommend BWS highly enough. Our first call with Luke was professional and built an immediate trust in the business. Lauren then took on our project at short notice with a 48 hour turn around time. She went above and beyond to ensure it was completed on time. We are now going to have a conversation about building a bid library and them becoming our exclusive supplier.

We used this company as part of our growth strategy, in that they, and I mean Lauren Moorhouse as their lead, created from scratch a comprehensive Bid Library. This is an excellent process to begin this new phase of our development, to gain more work and raising our branding profile. The whole system, was great to see how it grew into the formidable tool that it is, which we now have at our disposal, with an increase in our confidence to bolster our turnover.
