This procurement, categorised under real estate services, focuses on a major regeneration project in London, aimed at managing void council properties available for interim housing. The current planning stage includes a market engagement notice published on 13th February 2018, with an engagement end date set for 13th May 2018. Interested parties are invited to provide their insights and suggestions to the council by 28th February 2018, as part of the council's strategic planning for the future use of the properties. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in property management and real estate services, particularly those capable of refurbishing and maintaining residential properties for temporary letting. Suitable competitors may include firms specialising in real estate management, social housing solutions, and those with a strong customer service ethos, as contractors will be responsible for providing a high standard of care to tenants. With an anticipated range of 50 to 300 properties involved, this is a promising opportunity for businesses looking to expand their involvement in public sector housing initiatives. ## Notice The London Borough of Newham is carrying out a major regeneration project and so a number of void council properties will become available on a short-term basis. The Council wishes to engage with the market and seek views on its strategy to make best use of these properties. This engagement is designed to help the Council form a view of the best way to proceed and explore options for interim housing tenancy management of these properties. This is not the beginning of a tender exercise. A further contract or concession notice will be issued at the appropriate time if the Council decides to hold a tender exercise. At present, the Council's proposals for the properties are as follows: - The properties should be refurbished and maintained by the contractor (if required) to meet minimum statutory standard required for private rented sector properties. - The contractor will be granted individual leases for each property of a duration from 6 months to 3 years depending upon the planned progress of the regeneration in that particular area. The properties will be let by the contactor to tenants on an assured shorthold tenancy for periods covering the agreement. - The numbers of properties that will be assigned cannot be confirmed currently but are anticipated to be around 50 to 300 at any one time. - The Council will nominate applicants for the properties and the contractor would accept all such nominations if properties were available. It is envisaged that these nominees will be considered as homeless households by the council - The contractor will be expected to deliver to their tenants a good standard of customer care regarding reactive repairs, rent payments, signposting regarding benefits and ongoing tenant liaison. - The rents to be charged will be calculated using Registered Provider rates and will be less than market rent. The concession revenue will be a percentage of the rental income obtained by the contractor (actual percentage yet to be decided). - The Council may terminate any or all leases entered by given written notice giving at least 12-weeks' notice. At the end of this period, the contractor must return the property to the Council with vacant possession. Please submit your views, suggestions and comments on these proposals to the Council at Russell.bryan@newham.gov.uk by no later than 28th February 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab19da14-b797-4334-b078-c67e1b1ffff6 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 May 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ONESOURCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E15 3LX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | West Ham | | Westminster constituency | West Ham and Beckton | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70000000 - Real estate services - 70330000 - Property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis ## Release History - 13 Feb 2018 at 16:05 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab19da14-b797-4334-b078-c67e1b1ffff6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab19da14-b797-4334-b078-c67e1b1ffff6 13th February 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
