Notice Description
Livin Housing Ltd is a community-focused Registered Provider of social housing operating across County Durham and the wider North East. With a portfolio of approximately 9,000 homes, Livin's purpose is to improve lives through sustainable homes and places. This is reflected not only in its investment in property but in the strong emphasis placed on customer service, innovation, and social value throughout its operations. Livin is seeking to appoint a single, long-term delivery partner to provide a fully integrated suite of Housing Repairs, Maintenance, and Compliance Services. The aim is to establish a strategic partnership that goes beyond transactional delivery -- one that supports Livin's long-term objectives around quality, efficiency, environmental sustainability, and customer experience. The scope of services includes: Responsive and emergency repairs Void property reinstatement Aids and adaptations Statutory compliance servicing and remedials Planned maintenance and component renewals Retrofit and energy-efficiency measures (including PAS 2035-aligned works) Cyclical and preventative maintenance Associated general building and property-related works The contract is being tendered as a single lot and will be awarded under a modified TAC-1 (Term Alliance Contract) form. This reflects Livin's commitment to collaborative working and its desire to build a long-term, outcomes-focused relationship with its appointed contractor. The estimated annual value of the contract is PS20 million, with a proposed term of 10 years, plus options to extend by a further five years (3+2), subject to performance and agreement. This procurement is being conducted under the Competitive Flexible Procedure (Procurement Act 2023), and is being administered by Echelon Consultancy on behalf of Livin Housing Ltd. At this stage of the process -- the Conditions of Participation Stage (CoPS) -- Livin is focused on assessing bidders' past experience and organisational suitability. Bidders are not expected to submit proposed solutions or commercial offers at this point. Detailed Term Briefs will be developed and shared during later stages of the procedure, including during the Initial Solution Stage (ISS) and Dialogue Phase. A soft-market testing exercise was undertaken, a previous notice was published regarding this with the unique identifier (ocds-h6vhtk-04c7b3). This information has been included in this section as the previous notice was published under previous procurement regulations so is unable to be officially linked

Options: After the initial 10 year term, there are two extension options included, the first for a further 3 years, then the second for a further two. This means there are a total of 5 years available in extensions which may be triggered at the sole discretion of Livin Housing Ltd subject to mutual agreement. The total term of this contract including extensions is therefore 15 years.
