Notice Description
CDS is a charitable community benefit society first established in 1975 to support the development of new housing co-ops. Our core purpose is to provide, support and promote co-op and community-led housing - so that more people can shape the things that matter to them - at home, in their neighbourhood or community. We truly value our cooperative roots and we are committed to supporting cooperation as an effective business model and as a set of valuable skills.

The Services required by the framework agreement include, but are not restricted to: - Open Framework managing agent services (setting up the Open Framework) - Open Framework management software supply services (supplying a software solution that enables CAs to electronically call-off from the Open Framework) - Open Framework consultancy support services (providing administration and support services to CAs) - Other Managing Agent Services The Framework Agreement will be entered into between The Co-Operative Development Society Limited (as contracting authority) and Plentific (as supplier). CDS Housing Solutions Company Limited (a trading subsidiary of CDS) will also be a party to the Agreement.

CDS's reasons for this are as follows: - The Framework services need to align with the establishment and operation of the Open Framework, which will last for 8 years. - A longer period is needed to develop a mature marketplace within the Open Framework. - The costs of establishing the Open Framework are such that no market operator would be likely to bid for the Framework opportunity unless they have a longer period in which to on-board multiple CAs.)",
