## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is initiating a procurement process titled "Housing Management Market engagement" focused on the management, repair, and maintenance of its 5,300 council homes. This procurement falls under the industry categories of repair and maintenance services as well as real estate services, with activities taking place within England, United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the council aims to explore future options for housing management contracts with a market engagement milestone ending on 24 February 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for Registered Providers (RP) of social and affordable housing, and contractors specialising in repairs and maintenance. It is an ideal opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure a long-term contract with the council. Engaging in this early market consultation can help businesses better understand the requirements and costs involved and tailor their proposals accordingly to meet the council’s needs effectively.

## Notice

Cheshire West and Chester Council has a Housing Management Contract for the management, repair and maintenance of its 5,300 Council homes. This contract ends in June 2027 and we are exploring options for the future. These include bringing housing management in-house to the Council, with repairs and maintenance delivered by an external contractor; and contracting out both the management and maintenance to a Registered Provider. We would like to engage with Registered Providers (RP) of social and affordable housing and repairs and maintenance contractors to get an understanding of the market - is there an appetite to deliver a similar contract; what would the potential costs be; and how would the market view separate housing management and repairs and maintenance contracts?
