Repairs and Voids Contractor Framework

Livv Housing Group, which manages approximately 13,000 homes mainly in Knowsley and the wider Liverpool City Region, and has outlying stock across the North West, is establishing a comprehensive framework of contractors to support its maintenance team. The aim is to secure facilities maintenance expertise for responsive repairs and preventive upkeep in occupied dwellings, as well as to clear and prepare empty properties for re‑letting. The framework is split into two workstreams: Repairs, covering lots 1 to 16, and Voids, covering lots 17 to 32, each lot mirroring the trade scope of its corresponding Repairs lot but being tendered and awarded separately.

The scope of works covers a broad range of trades. Through the Repairs stream, contractors will perform timber repairs, fabric and structural work, external wall rendering, plumbing and heating services, gas safety checks, electrical fault finding and upgrades, solar PV installation and testing, heat pump servicing, pest control, drainage, chimney inspection, damp and mould remediation, plastering, painting, flooring and related interior/exterior finishes. The Voids stream requires identical specialist skills applied to vacant properties in preparation for re‑lettings. Each lot includes both dedicated specialist work and multi‑trade responsive tasks not covered by a single category, ensuring all maintenance needs are addressed across the housing portfolio.

All contracted work must meet the UK Building Regulations, Health and Safety Executive requirements and any relevant local authority guidelines.

Livv Housing Group has a stock of approximately 13,000 homes and whilst their main area of operation is currently Knowsley, services may also be required within the wider Liverpool City Region. In addition to this, the Group also has some outlying stock in the broader North West area.
The Livv Maintenance team currently consists of approximately 120 operatives providing a range of services including responsive repairs and maintenance services, cyclical works, planned investment and voids work to ensure the Group's housing stock remains in an excellent condition.
The Group is seeking bids for a framework of contractors to support Livv Maintenance in conducting responsive repairs, maintenance work and void property works across multiple lots. The framework is divided into two workstreams:
1. REPAIRS: covering responsive repairs and maintenance to occupied properties. Lots 1 to 16
2. VOIDS: covering works to empty properties ahead of re-letting. Lots 17 to 32
Each Voids lot mirrors the trade scope of its corresponding Repairs lot but is tendered and awarded separately.
Bidders can bid on one or more lots. The full-service specification is included within the Supporting Information section of this tender.
