Authority: Thurrock Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThurrock Council plans to run a new procurement exercise in 2023/24 in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This may lead to the appointment of a single Delivery Partner and Management Partner to enter into a Partnership Model for the provision of all property services to the council and its tenants. The works and services would comprise all the works required to maintain Thurrock’s housing stock, including responsive repairs, void refurbishment works, disrepair, planned and capital, cyclical maintenance and all other compliance services.
The procurement of the Delivery Partner and Management Partner are anticipated to be carried out separately, in parallel and following a Competitive Dialogue procedure to ensure the Model operates as intended.
Thurrock aims to award a contract to the successful tenderers in September 2024, with the mobilisation of the Works over a five month period to a contract start date of 1st March 2025.

The Delivery Partner is expected to be a contractor experienced in providing a full range of maintenance services that include repairs, void refurbishment, cyclical maintenance and compliance services, and planned refurbishment works that include kitchen, bathroom, heating, roof, window and door replacements.
The Delivery Partner and Thurrock will enter into the Term Contract (likely to be in the form of a TAC-1 Term Alliance Contract, as amended) under which the Delivery Partner will take responsibility for the delivery of the Works Programme as set out in Thurrock's specification/brief.
It is possible that employees of maintenance contractors currently appointed by Thurrock, and some Thurrock staff, may be entitled to transfer their employment to the Delivery Partner, though this will be confirmed by Thurrock and its legal advisers during the procurement exercise. Additional information: Thurrock are conducting this market engagement to test the proposed Model, and whether it stands a good chance of success in addressing Thurrock’s objectives; identifying any opportunities to adapt the Model or the procurement procedure to achieve this. This includes a need for feedback on the appetite, ability and experience of service providers to take on the roles.
