Housing DPS for Nightly Lets and Private Sector Leasing

Tender description

PSL housing is currently provided by a framework that expires 31st may and has been informally extended until the procurement tender is complete. Nightly Rates has not undertaken a procurement exercise and needs to be made OJEU and Procurement compliant. Inadvertently, the current approach has led to significant discrepancies in terms of monthly rates (and by extension to financial inefficiencies) as well as in terms of performance and supplier management techniques. The establishment of the DPS will aim to bridge that gap by ensuring that leasing and nightly rates is governed by the same technical, financial and contractual thresholds. Please note that the current tender has two Lots. The Council is proposing to issue a third Lot in the autumn, where agents and landlords will be able to tender on the basis of retaining liability for the repairs and maintenance.
