## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Communities & Housing Investment Consortium Ltd (CHIC) involves the "Asset Compliance & Assurance Framework 2026-30". This tender falls under the industry category of services and encompasses a diverse range of asset compliance, building safety, and assurance services across the United Kingdom. Based in Birmingham, CHIC operates as a centralised procurement authority. The project is currently in the tender stage, with an open procedure procurement method. Key deadlines include the tender submission closing on 30th June 2026 and the award period concluding on 14th August 2026. The framework is designed to support CHIC members in statutory compliance, risk management, and building safety over a four-year period, with a total estimated value of £220 million.

This framework presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in asset compliance and building safety. With various lots covering water hygiene, asbestos management, and compliance service assurance, firms with expertise in these areas are well-suited to compete. The framework supports delivery across the UK, offering suppliers the flexibility to indicate their regional capabilities, thus enabling small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate. The framework's flexible structure allows for additional services to be included on a call-off basis, aligning with specific member needs, thereby fostering robust supplier-client partnerships and expanding market reach for businesses across diverse compliance disciplines.

## Notice

The Authority is seeking to establish a 4 year Closed Framework Contract (CFC) in accordance with Section 47(1)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) for the provision of asset compliance, building safety and assurance services, structured across the lots outlined in the procurement documents. The services required under this framework will support a range of CHIC members and will apply to a diverse portfolio of domestic and non domestic assets, including individual properties, blocks and estates, as part of members' asset management, compliance and assurance programmes. The framework is intended to support members in meeting their statutory, regulatory and governance obligations, while managing risk to residents, staff and building users. CHIC is seeking to establish a multi disciplinary asset compliance and assurance framework, incorporating the specialist services identified within the lots and any other associated services that may reasonably be required to support compliant asset operation and building safety. Support may be required at any stage of the compliance lifecycle, including but not limited to risk assessment, inspection, monitoring, maintenance, remedial works, independent assurance, audit, reporting and verification. Services may relate to planned compliance programmes, responsive or corrective works, assurance exercises, or other compliance related requirements arising during the framework term. The Framework Contract will provide members with access to competent, pre qualified suppliers and their supply chains, delivering statutory compliance and assurance services across the asset compliance disciplines included within the framework. It is recognised that it is not possible to pre price every potential compliance activity that members may require over the duration of the framework. Accordingly, the Authority reserves the right to include additional, similar or associated services that fall within the broad scope of the framework, with pricing to be agreed between the individual member and the appointed supplier on a project by project or call off basis. The framework is intended to provide national coverage across the United Kingdom (UK). Suppliers will be given the opportunity to identify the geographical areas or regions in which they are able to deliver services as part of their submission, enabling members to select suppliers with appropriate local presence and capacity.
