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.

They are required to manage compliance, handle failures, and resolve issues in accordance with established protocols, ensuring prompt remittance of collected funds and provision of any additional information obtained during the recovery process. All services shall be delivered exclusively for domestic household debt and must meet the specified technical and quality requirements.

The tender concerns the hire of a fleet of twenty‑two vehicles to support the 24‑hour, year‑round logistics operations managed by Synchronicity Care Limited for the North‑East England healthcare network. Five Luton 3.5‑tonne multi‑drop vans equipped with tail lifts will be used for the transport of supplies, medical equipment, pathology items and sterile service trolleys, while the remaining seventeen vehicles will comprise a mix of small and medium sized electric and internal‑combustion vehicles that deliver post, non‑caged supplies, pathology samples, estates maintenance work and other ad‑hoc duties to health centres, surgeries, hospitals and other institutions.

The awarded supplier will provide a complete service and maintenance contract covering all aspects of fleet operation. Responsibilities include the provision of relief vehicles of equal or higher specification during servicing or breakdowns, replacement of tyres subject to fair wear and tear, provision and replenishment of all required fluids, lubricants and wiper blades, full maintenance and service, mandatory and preventative inspections (including tail‑lift checks compliant with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), windscreen and glass replacements, delivery of a customized livery mandated by the Trust, provision of an NHSV Class tax exemption disc, driver training to demonstrate vehicle functionality, and 24/7 breakdown recovery with a dedicated contact number.

YPO is inviting suppliers to join a Framework Agreement to provide a full range of YPO‑branded arts and stationery items for the education market and local authority sectors. The agreed supply chain will focus on deliveries to YPO’s distribution centre in Wakefield, ensuring that each lot—from colouring pencils and jumbo pencils to HB and sketching pencils, colouring pens, ballpoint, gel and fineliner pens, handwriting pens, crayons, oil pastels, chalks, highlighters, sticky notes, to whiteboard cleaning products—is stocked and ready for distribution within the supported market. All items covered by the framework must be shipped into the specified warehouse to meet the demands of schools, colleges and local authority customers.

The procurement is structured as a recurrent, options‑enabled framework under a competitive tendering process, administered by the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation. Evaluation of submissions will hinge on a weighted assessment of cost (40 %), quality (30 %), social value and sustainability (20 %), and delivery and customer service (10 %). Eligible offers must demonstrate the capacity for reliable delivery to the Wakefield hub and adhere to the required English-language specifications. All supplies must meet UK educational standards for safety and durability.

Sheffield City Council is procuring a comprehensive supported housing service designed to meet the needs of the most vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness and severe multiple disadvantage. The council will award three separate lots: Lot 1 provides mixed dispersed and scheme‑based accommodation for men who are homeless, at risk of rough sleeping or repeat homelessness, with intensity of support matched to their trajectory toward settled housing; Lot 2 offers single‑occupancy, dispersed accommodation for single men and women whose needs are not adequately addressed by existing provision, including trauma‑informed, inclusive support; Lot 3 delivers a high‑level support framework for people experiencing repeated homelessness, severe adversity, and elevated housing‑related support requirements, focusing on stabilisation, sustained tenancy, and independent living outcomes.

Across all three lots the service must deliver safe, suitable accommodation with flexible, strengths‑based support that promotes stability, independence, and successful progression to permanent housing. The contract requires that provision be part of Sheffield’s broader homelessness pathway and facilitate a planned reduction in reliance on larger hostel‑based solutions, ensuring an integrated, trauma‑informed, and inclusive approach to housing and support. The service must meet local authority standards for safety, accessibility, and quality of care.
