By integrating procurement services and technology, Inprova operates as a delivery partner, supporting business performance improvement for the public sector.

Procurement for Housing has established a Framework Agreement for Responsive Repairs and Void Property Services.

The framework has been split into five (5) lots:

1. Responsive Repairs and Void Property Refurbishment
2. Void Property Refurbishment
3. Responsive Repairs
4. Void Property Cleaning and Clearing Services
5. Void Property Security Services

The framework agreement is open to social housing providers and the wider public sector (https://procurementforhousing.co.uk/permissible-users/across) across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Organisations applied to become qualified suppliers in more than one lot, however, they were restricted in applying for either National coverage or up to a maximum of 4 regions.

The estimated total Lot values were provided within Document 1 - Invitation to Tender, and represented the estimated maximum spend ranges for each Lot.

However it should be noted that PfH expect the total value of the Framework Agreement across all lots to be GBP 240,000,000 (240 million). As it is unknown which contracting route will be selected by PfH Members estimations were duplicated over lots 1 to 3.
