Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council is procuring services for an Empty Homes and Leasing Programme to bring residential properties that have been empty for at least six months back into use. The homes will provide additional temporary accommodation for families already living in, or at risk of entering, temporary accommodation, while improving the quality and affordability of local accommodation. The requirement covers residential property letting or leasing and property management services, including a repair-and-leasing approach that encourages property owners to make homes available. All properties must be within the borough of Rochdale. The programme is intended to deliver at least 32 homes, with the council using the resulting accommodation as part of its temporary accommodation portfolio.

The procurement has reached tender: Rochdale Borough Council invited offers through an accelerated open procedure for a light-touch services framework. It is one lot, with a maximum estimated value of £3,500,000 including VAT. The framework is intended to appoint up to three suppliers, ranked by evaluation score, without reopening competition. The contract period is 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2030. Clarification questions were due by 11 August 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions by 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 28 August 2026. Evaluation is weighted 75% quality and 25% price. Suppliers generally needed to achieve 75% or more, subject to the council’s discretion.

This opportunity suits property leasing, housing management and property management providers able to source and operate homes in Rochdale. Relevant capability includes mobilising and delivering a repair-and-leasing model, assessing and maintaining property standards, managing refurbishment and voids, and meeting housing, safety and regulatory compliance requirements. Providers should be able to manage tenancies and support families who may be vulnerable or at risk of temporary accommodation, with effective safeguarding arrangements. The framework also favours organisations experienced in partnership working and service integration with public-sector and local partners. Strong risk management, financial sustainability, performance monitoring and reporting will be important. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Empty Homes and Leasing Programme Services Framework

Notice Description

The GMCA Council Empty Homes and Leasing Programme (Council EHLP) aims to bring in to use properties that have been empty for 6 months or more. The properties will be used to rehouse families who are currently living in Temporary Accommodation (TA) or at risk of moving into TA. Rochdale Council has received a grant funding offer to deliver a minimum of 32 homes for the Council EHLP. The funding will be used to bring empty homes back into use via a repair and leasing approach that incentivises property owners to allow their properties to be used to rehouse families currently residing in or are at risk of residing in Temporary Accommodation. The properties will provide an additional TA portfolio for council use, with a secondary aim of helping to improve the quality and affordability of the locally available TA offer. All properties need to be located in the borough of Rochdale.
