to provide such services.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Places for People (Places Management) are seeking three contractors to deliver planned and responsive works to 231 properties in the AB postcode regions and Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire (with further dwellings being added during the term).

The Planned & Responsive Works framework is intended to provide planned and responsive services across Places for People’s affordable housing stock, and to any third party organisations to whom PFP has an agreement (or may enter into such an agreement during the term) to provide such services.

PFP has its own in-house Repairs and Landscaping team, Places Management. Places Management are resourced to provide the required services in most, but not all, locations where PFP has affordable housing stock.

There are currently 3 different categories for the stock included within the framework:

a)“Core” stock

PFP’s “Core” stock is that which can be serviced by the Places Management team within a 30 minute travel time of the base location. This forms the majority of PFP’s affordable housing stock.

Core stock may change over time as Places Management’s team changes.

For PFP’s Core stock, the framework is intended to provide support where Places Management does not have the required resource to undertake the works. This includes standard trades – i.e. those under the NHF Schedule of Rates for Responsive and Void Works. Ad-hoc planned works (i.e. works which falls outside our major works planned investment programme) may be included within this framework.

b)“Non-Core” stock

PFP’s “Non-Core” stock is that which falls outside the 30 minute travel time for the Places Management team. This forms a small proportion of PFP’s overall affordable housing stock.

Non-Core stock may change over time as Places Management’s team changes.

For PFP’s Non-Core stock, the framework is intended to provide all resource required to operate the responsive repairs and voids service for the standard trades. Ad-hoc planned works (i.e. works which falls outside our major works planned investment programme) may be

included within this framework.

In time, costs for Non-Core stock are likely to be on a cost per property basis. However, for the purposes of this tender, costs are to be on the basis of the pricing instructions.

c)Third Party owned stock

PFP’s Third Party owned stock is any housing stock forming part of the framework which is not affordable housing owned by PFP. At the current time, that includes housing stock owned by just one third party organisation, but this may change over time as PFP’s contractual commitments change.
