Interested providers are invited to attend a soft market testing open day on Friday 4th August 2023 at Citizen's Head Office, 4040 Lakeside, Solihull Parkway, Birmingham B37 7YN. Interested organisations should submit their expression of interest to attend the open day by emailing procurement@citizenhousing.org.uk with a brief description of their organisation along with the names of those representatives wishing to attend.

This is not a formal tender opportunity and there is no guarantee of any tender opportunity arising following this period of soft market testing.
All responses will be confidential for the market testing purposes only.
The services to be included within the potential contract may include the following, but Citizen wish to explore this further through this market testing exercise.
The exact future spend on such services will be dependent on scope and contract duration but is likely to be circa £8.5M ex vat per year:

• Stock condition data validation (Key components) and general property condition check including any possible tenant alterations
• Safeguarding and referral of property or tenancy concerns
• Electric storage heaters / electric boiler heating inspections and repair
• HHSRS (scope and detail to be discussed) but likely to be basic assessment based around noting category 1 and 2 issues such as damp and mould
