60501337 Housing General - CoT Void Property Works Term Contract 2026-2029

Nature: Preparation, repair and upgrading of void flats and houses to make ready for re-letting within the Four Contract Areas, all to be carried out within the Priority Codes allocated.

The works may include an element of modernisation/upgrade in some instances where the Contract Administrator and/or Agent considers it appropriate to “replace/re-new” in lieu of “repair” e.g. kitchen replacement, bathroom replacement, window replacement and the like.

The dwelling types range in size from bedsits to seven-bedroomed houses and from single storey sheltered cottages to low rise flats up to five storeys high. There are no high-rise multi-storey blocks in the Employer’s current property stock.

The property stock is concentrated in the seven largest towns with a sizeable proportion of properties located in the surrounding rural villages. Each Contract Area therefore includes not only closely grouped urban properties, but also widely spread rural properties.

Location: The Employer cannot guarantee that the numbers of properties in the Contract remain constant due to the addition of newly built Council dwellings, the demolition of Council dwellings and other sundry other factors.

The Employer reserves the right to exclude any property from the Contract that may subsequently be transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Employer.

The Employer reserves the right to add any property acquired or brought into management by the Employer throughout the duration of the Contract.

Ownership: Where there is shared ownership or mutuality, communality within blocks or areas of land, the contractor will be required to undertake repairs required for the benefit of the council tenants.(Refer to Mixed Tenure repairs protocol).

Estimated Value is based on a four year and seven month period for all lots.
