This comes after their merger in December 2022, resulting in an organisation that now manages over 80,000 homes and assists 167,000 residents across regions including London, the South East, the Midlands, and the Isle of Wight. The focus of this procurement falls under the "Repair and maintenance services" industry category, and it is currently in the planning stage with a future notice expected on 21st October 2024. The contract, with an estimated value of GBP 72,000,000, aims to consolidate operational and contractual arrangements, addressing areas such as disrepair works, electrical installations, and complex repair projects. This preliminary market engagement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in electrical systems and complex repair tasks. Companies can potentially benefit from long-term partnerships and substantial contracts while contributing to the enhancement of housing conditions across large regions of the UK. The engagement seeks market feedback to shape the procurement strategy, making it ideal for businesses that excel in innovation, collaboration, and performance-driven solutions. Firms adept at handling major repairs, voids, adaptations, and insurance-related repairs would be well-suited to compete in this tender and help Southern Housing achieve strategic objectives efficiently. ## Notice Southern Housing was formed in December 2022 following the merger of Optivo and Southern Housing Group.
