## Summary

Watford Community Housing, in association with Echelon Consultancy, is in the planning stage of a procurement process aimed at establishing three frameworks—Repairs & Empty Homes (MAINTAIN), Capital Delivery & Planned Works (IMPROVE), and Compliance Services (PROTECT). These frameworks encompass a wide array of construction and maintenance services within the UK, covering regions including various aspects of Asset Management for local authorities, housing associations, and registered providers. An initial soft market testing session is scheduled for 29 August 2024, with a follow-up session for the Repairs & Empty Homes framework on 11 September 2024. All market engagement sessions will be held virtually. The formal procurement notice will follow once feedback from these sessions has been reviewed, expected by 17 October 2024.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for firms specialising in construction, repair, and maintenance services. Companies offering services like electrical installation, plumbing, mechanical installations, asbestos removal, and building completion works will find these frameworks particularly relevant. The soft market testing sessions provide a chance for potential suppliers to influence the final structure of the frameworks, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and commercial models. The initiatives undertaken by Watford Community Housing seek to engage a wide range of stakeholders, indicating potential for diverse business interactions and long-term contract opportunities.
