Description

Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of refurbishment and repairs to vacant properties (Voids) from the Council's housing stock as properties are vacated. The Council has a housing stock of approximately 10,500 properties across the Borough, of which approximately 600 properties are void each year. Vacant properties may require refurbishment, general maintenance, repair and or improvements to return them for re-letting in line with Swindon's Re-let Standard. \r \r The works can range from minor repairs to major capital works requiring full property renovation, depending on the age of the property and condition upon return. The contract will also include refurbishment works to properties purchased by Swindon Borough Council on the open market to add to the Council's housing stock, to ensure these meet the necessary standards to enable letting by the Council.\r \r The estimated number of properties included in this contract will be 390 to 480 per year, divided between two Lots, with one Contractor appointed to each Lot. Lot details are summarised here, with additional details provided in the tender documents:\r \r Lot 1: Provision of the services described to properties in north (excluding Stratton area) and west Swindon (SN5 postcode). Approximately 4,602 in-scope properties are located in the Lot 1 area, and the Council estimates that approximately 200 to 250 properties will be included in this Lot per annum.
