Description
VIVID is a Hampshire based Registered Provider of homes and services to local communities
throughout Hampshire and parts of Surrey. We were created from a merger between First Wessex
and Sentinel Housing Associations. We have around 70,000 customers, 30,000 homes and 1,000
staff and are the largest provider of housing association homes in Hampshire with a strong
commitment to addressing housing needs. Our ambition is to maximise opportunities to make more
housing available and affordable for everyone.
VIVID have a number of historical Contracts/agreements in place pre-merger. It is now our intention
to consolidate the contractors across the operational area to ensure best value for money for our
residents. We employee 250 trade staff who carry out 134,000 repairs and maintenance to our
30,000 properties each year, but during times of peak demand, we require contractors to support
us. It will also enable us to deliver larger repair works where we do not have sufficient capacity/do
not provide the service in-house or outsourcing the works may provide better value.
All works to be provided under the agreement will be in accordance with the National Housing
Federation (NHF) Schedule of Rates (SOR) version 7, which covers responsive maintenance and
renewals, contractors are asked to provide a percentage variation against the rates.
Intellectual property rights of the core NHF documentation are vested in NHF Hammer South West
and/or Rand Associates Consultancy Services Ltd."
This agreement will be based on a four-year Responsive Repairs, Maintenance and void property
framework that will allow us to engage with a panel of approved Contractors to carry out these
works to our housing stock. We aim to have a sufficient number of providers for each category of
works (see lot specification for more information) to ensure Contractors are not overloaded and are
able to provide a high standard of repair & maintenance work. Works will be awarded via a direct
call off between the Contractors appointed to the framework and we will endeavour to maximise
Contractors working potential by establishing mutually convenient geographical work locations.
Please note that major and planned works are out of scope for this tender and will be subject to
separate procurement. Documents are available now at www.housingprocurement,com
