UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Livv Housing Group is preparing a procurement process for a responsive repairs and maintenance contractor framework, focused on providing diverse repair and maintenance services for around 13,000 homes, primarily in Knowsley and the wider Liverpool City Region. The procurement, currently at the planning stage, involves a preliminary market engagement scheduled until 24th July 2026. The aim is to establish a four-year framework with multiple categories, including joinery, roofing, and electrical services, among others. Interested parties are encouraged to complete an online questionnaire to aid in shaping the eventual tender process, with the formal tender opportunity to be announced by 31st July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those experienced in working with housing groups or similar sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the framework’s inclusivity and diverse lot offerings. Participating in this comprehensive framework could provide sustained engagement and growth potential over the four-year period, accommodating multiple trades and competitive bids from various business types committed to high-quality service delivery.
