Professional property management services are sought to take responsibility for the active management of non-residential assets (garages). These services will involve direct tenant interface, void management, rent setting, rent collection, dispute management and optimisation of cash income for the asset group. Furthermore Dartford Borough Council seek partners who can provide a comprehensive service to facilitate repairs and maintenance to the non-residential assets including taking repairs calls, diagnosing and ordering repairs via the client or third party contractor through an electronic works ordering system. In addition, a capital works improvements programme will be delivered using the priced schedules; the value of such works may extend up to £500,000 pa over a number of years to support the target to increase performance of the garages.
The pricing schedule includes the provision of benefits sharing model that will form part of the contract and related payment for the service. This sets out the current base line performance of the garages as managed currently and how the financial benefits will be split between both the services supplier and the council of a new higher level of rent collection and overall service performance.
