Hire of agricultural machinery with operator

Tender description

Thirteen Housing Group Limited was created from the merger of Tees Valley based organization's Fabrick Housing Group and Vela Group. The Group owns and manages more than 32 000 homes from an area spanning North Tyneside to York, making it the largest registered housing provider in the North East, and in the top 25 nationally. It is also 1 of the 10 largest employers in the North East. Former companies Fabrick and Vela merged to become new parent company Thirteen Housing Group Limited. Their partner landlords, Erimus Housing and Tees Valley Housing, formerly in Fabrick and Housing Hartlepool and Tristar Homes, formerly in Vela, remain separate organisations in their own right but are part of the larger Group. Thirteen offers strategic direction and drives the vision for the partnership, overseeing the partner organization's in the Group. As part of the move, Thirteen Care and Support was created — a new housing support arm, bringing together the services of the supported housing team of Tees Valley and Norcare, a former Tyneside based charity. The move means expertise, resources and costs can be shared, achieving savings without reducing services and allowing the landlords to focus on the needs of their tenants and neighbourhoods. Further information is available on the Group's website www.thirteengroup.co.uk The concluded contract will be in the name of Thirteen Housing Group Limited. The contract will incorporate all Group subsidiary companies and will also be available to any new members of the Group. We are looking for a 3 year lease agreement for 32 weeks each year commencing 14.3.2016 for 3 grass cutting machines. See Section 2) Specification. All machinery will be based at our Cargo Fleet Lane Depot, Middlesbrough and all repairs and servicing will be carried out there. With the potential to add further machines throughout the lease period to fit with business need.
