## Summary

The Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Home Improvement Agency - Market Sounding." This initiative aims to gather initial feedback from potential service providers regarding the council's outsourced Home Improvement Agency service, which is set to end on 30 March 2022. Interested organisations are encouraged to participate by completing a questionnaire available through the council’s e-tendering portal. The engagement end date for feedback submission is 21 January 2021. The procurement primarily relates to repair and maintenance services, with a geographical focus on the North West of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the repair, maintenance, health, and social work sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the council is keen to understand the market appetite for these services. By engaging with the council now, businesses can influence the future contract specifications and parameters, positioning themselves advantageously for potential future contracts in this area.
