Term Contract for Responsive Repairs and Void Refurbishment Works.

Descriptions

Riversmead Housing Association (RHA) is a registered housing provider which owns and manages approximately 4 500 properties in Hertfordshire. RHA is a member of the Network Group, which collectively manages approximately 19 000 properties in total.RHA entered into a contract for repairs and maintenance services in respect of its properties in 2013. The successful contractor pursuant to that procurement process was MCP Property Service Limited.RHA has added approximately 2 200 properties in the area of East London adjoining the area covered by the repairs and maintenance contract referred to above. These properties are currently owned by Network Stadium Housing Association, another member of the Network Group. It is intended that in April 2016 the Network Group will be collapsed, with one organisation replacing RHA and Network Stadium Housing Association and owning both the original properties and the properties which have been added through the variation. In addition, the variation moves the contract from a schedule of rates-based pricing mechanism to an open book pricing mechanism. RHA anticipates that significant savings will be achieved by moving to this open book approach.
