Arcon Housing Association Repairs & Maintenance, Voids & Planned Works

Arcon Housing Association (Arcon) was formed in 1972 and has built and acquired over 1,200 properties over 45 years. The majority of properties are located within the Greater Manchester area, however, services were also required in Cheshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire and surrounding areas to meet the needs of Arcon.

Arcon sought bids from appropriately skilled and experienced contractors to provide repairs & maintenance, voids and planned works across multiple Arcon sites.

The outcome of the tender process was a single contract with one contractor. The contract will be for an initial 3 years with 3 options to extend by a further 3 years (36 months), up to a maximum 12 years total contract term (3+3+3+3), subject to Arcon requirements and the performance of the successful contractor.

The estimated value is approximately £508,000 - £588,000 per annum excluding VAT, up to a total contract value over the life of the contract of approximately £6,096,000 - £7,056,000; however this is an estimate only. This is for information only, and no guarantees are given, nor are implied as to the value or quantity of business that will be placed with the successful contractor.

Services initially required under the contract were expected to include all repairs and maintenance across a variety of property types, (including an out of hours emergency provision) and voids works from contract commencement. Planned works, comprising mainly of kitchen and bathroom installations, will begin April 2018. Periodic electrical inspections and subsequent remedial works may also be required during the life of the contract.
