## Summary

The procurement process involves Symphony Housing Group seeking a contractor for the Cobalt Damp Proofing and Timber Infestation Surveying for 2015-2017, focusing on properties in North Liverpool, specifically in Fazakerley, Norris Green, and Croxteth. The contract, which has reached the award stage, is valued at £70,000, with a minimum contract value of £50,000, and is planned to encompass around 110 surveys annually. The award was published on 15 March 2017, following a procurement method classified as an open procedure, with the contracting authority requiring the successful contractor to perform technical surveys and subsequently attend court as an expert witness when necessary.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in building surveying services, particularly those experienced in damp proofing and timber infestation assessments. Companies that can provide expert recommendations and training to the contracting authority's staff, and are prepared to engage in judicial proceedings, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The anticipated annual spend supports the availability of steady work, making this an attractive prospect for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the surveying industry.

## Notice

Cobalt Housing is seeking to appoint a single provider that will provide Damp Proofing and Timber Infestation Survey Services to any of Cobalt's current stock where Damp or Timber Infestation has been identified by Cobalt Officers. All properties are based in the North Liverpool areas of Fazakerley, Norris Green and Croxteth. Please be aware that the successful Contractor will only provide a technical survey, with recommendations for works to be completed. Cobalt Housing will complete any works following the report being received. The successful Contractor will be expected to attend court (in Liverpool City Area) as an expert witness as part of a disrepair case. The successful Contractor will, at Cobalt's request, provide Cobalt staff with updates and formal training around changes in relevant legislation to this service as and when agreed with Cobalt officers. We estimate a yearly spend of approximately PS15,000 net of VAT for the duration of the project and an anticipated 110 surveys per year.
