The project involves conducting inspections on approximately 160 licensed houses in multiple occupation (HMO) to ensure compliance with the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). The contract, valued at up to £35,000, is set to commence by 1st September 2021 and will conclude by 31st December 2021. Interested parties must submit their quotations by 14:00hrs on Thursday 12th August 2021, with the deadline for clarification questions set for 17:00hrs on Friday 30th July 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the inspection and housing services sectors to engage in public procurement and potentially expand their operations. Enterprises with expertise in building inspection services and auditing related to housing compliance will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The project not only offers a chance to secure valuable contracts but also allows businesses to contribute to community welfare through housing safety assessments and compliance inspections. ## Notice Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is seeking an organisation to undertake an Inspection Project of approximately 160 dwellings in the borough (with provision for additional inspections as agreed with the contractor), on licensed houses in multiple occupation (HMO) as part of the mandatory licensing process.
