Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Letting, Management, Maintenance & Factoring for properties within Edinburgh". This initiative falls within the general public services category and is focused on the management and maintenance of mid-market rented homes as part of Edinburgh Living's housing programme. The procurement process is set in Edinburgh, with the deadline for submitting a market research questionnaire being Monday, 27th June 2022. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the council's procurement strategy ahead of the detailed tender, which will be posted following the initial consultation period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in property management, maintenance, and factoring services. Companies that specialise in housing services, including marketing, tenancy management, and routine maintenance, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, organisations offering factoring services for mixed-tenure developments, encompassing social and private housing, stand to benefit from engaging with the City of Edinburgh Council. As the council seeks collaborative input to shape its procurement processes, this is an ideal opportunity for businesses to showcase their expertise and potentially expand their market reach.

Notice Title

Letting, Management, Maintenance & Factoring for properties within Edinburgh

Notice Description

The City of Edinburgh Council is responsible for one of Scotland's largest housebuilding programmes, with a current target of directly delivering 10,000 homes. Social rented homes are owned and managed by the Council as the landlord. Mid-market rent homes are also being delivered through the programme with 370 currently under management and an expected pipeline of over 100 new homes to add to the portfolio each year. These homes are owned by the Council's subsidiary Edinburgh Living. During this period of growth, the Council is reviewing the letting, management and maintenance requirements for Edinburgh Living's mid-market rent homes as well as the factoring services that may be required across the mixed tenure estates being delivered through the programme. Factoring services are currently delivered to around 1,500 homes, a mix of social rent, mid-market rent and privately owned. The Council is therefore publishing this Prior Information Notice to notify the market of our upcoming opportunity and to give the market an opportunity to participate in finalising the Council's procurement strategy and help shape the procurement process. Potential bidders are invited to download the market research questionnaire and complete no later than Monday 27th June 2022. Those who submit a questionnaire may be invited to a dialogue session with the Project team to expand on their responses.

Lot Information

Letting, Management & Maintenance Services

This Prior Information Notice provides an opportunity to engage with the Council on ideas, solutions, and proposals by completing the attached questionnaire. A full scope of services will be published as part of the procurement process. However, to assist with feedback a summary of the requirement is set out below. It is the Council's expectation at the time of publishing this PIN, that the procurement will comprise of two lots: Lot 1 - Edinburgh Living Services - Lettings, Management and Maintenance The management services will cover all letting services including marketing and allocating homes to tenants, arranging tenancy agreements, rent collection and arrears management, dealing with deposits, and managing the day-to-day running including the handling of complaints or queries for Edinburgh Living Services property portfolio. The maintenance services are required to ensure that the homes are in a suitable condition prior to letting, during vacant management and during occupation by a tenant. The services include emergency, urgent, routine repairs, and any planned maintenance, such as annual gas safety checks and any other checks required by legislation. In addition, the planned maintenance will cover servicing of appliances as required. Lot 2 - Council and Edinburgh Living Services - Factoring Many of the Council's existing and future developments are mixed tenure. This tenure mix could consist of social rent, mid-market rent and also homes for private sale. In order to ensure that developments are maintained from the outset and the tenure blind approach which has been taken at design and development stage is sustained, the Council has appointed Factors across a number of new-build sites. Factoring services will be required by both the Council, Edinburgh Living and any private owners ("user groups") on these and future mixed-tenure sites. Factors will be expected to provide a menu of services which can be accessed as relevant to each site, user group and any Deed of Conditions in place. These will include, but not be limited to landscape maintenance, bike and bin store cleaning and maintenance, plant room cleaning, gutter cleaning and other block management services as usually provided by a Factor. It is the Council's intention to procure a framework of Factors to service these sites..
