II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s):

The provision of a range of housing and accommodation services to occupiers including tenants and leaseholders of accommodation owned by Ealing Council (the Council). The successful bidders/partners will be required to provide repairs and maintenance services and housing management (tenancy services) to Council owned homes and the surrounding estates for the duration of the Contract (see below). The Council anticipates that the services will include. — Housing and estate management, — Estate Cleansing and Grounds Management, — Repairs and maintenance (including temporary accommodation and hostels), — Specification to the Council of major/capital works programmes, — Management and procurement of capital works programmes, — Rent collection and arrears management, — Leasehold management, — Resident participation, — Management of non-residential assets. The Council seeks partners to deliver these services (the Services) under three area based contracts, which relate to three individual lots. The current number of homes within each of those areas, defined by whether they are leasehold or tenanted, is as follows: Ealing Area (2117 Leaseholder), (6910 Tenant), (9027 Total). Northolt Area (2008 Leaseholder), (4197 Tenant), (6205 Total). Southall Area (754 Leaseholder), (1900 Tenant), (2654 Total). Total (4879 Leaseholders), (13007 Tenant), (17886 GRAND TOTAL). The contractors will be required to provide these services to any new or additional Council owned homes built or acquired during the term of the contract. 70 new council owned homes should be completed in Northolt and a further 8 in Ealing prior to the commencement of the contract. Resident Choice: The contracts will provide leaseholders and tenants who are dissatisfied with the bidder/provider of the lot they reside in, with the opportunity to obtain the Services from another bidder/provider of one of the other lots, subject to clear contractual conditions. The provision of the Services to each area will be the responsibility of one successful bidder/partner and the Council anticipates that it will appoint 2 or 3 successful bidders/partners across the 3 areas. Bidders may be invited to submit tenders for more than one area (Lot) with a requirement that one of those Lots is the Southall area. It should be noted that contract award will be limited to two contracts per bidder, and that under these circumstances there would be a requirement for one of the contracts to be for the Southall Area. The council anticipates that it will enter into a contract with each successful bidder/partner for a term of 10 years, subject to the operation of a break clause, at the Council's option, after 5 years (the Contract). The Council's priorities for the Services and the Contract are: — delivering excellent services and choice for residents, — increasing choice for residents and managing demand from residents, — transforming neighbourhoods, — increased resident satisfaction, — improved governance.
