Total Asset Management Contract

Tender description

On the 1st July 2014, Dacorum Borough Council ("the Council") entered into a contract for a period of up to 10 years with Osborne Property Services Limited ("Osborne") for 'total asset management' service delivery of Borough wide housing repairs works and services, including maintenance and improvements (the "Contract"). This was advertised on the OJEU under 2013/S 030-046801 (dated 12 February 2013). The Contract includes responsive repairs, void repairs and planned improvements. This VEAT notice relates to a proposed extension of the Contract for up to a further 2 years (1+1) with a longstop date of 30th June 2026 to allow the Council to conduct a re-procurement exercise for the long-term successor to the Contract. Lot 1: Dacorum Borough Council intends to extend the term of the Contract with Osborne Property Services Limited for a bridging period of up to a twenty-four months (1+1) to allow it to conduct a re-procurement exercise for the long-term successor to the Contract. The extension will provide the Council with a sufficient period of time to run a comprehensive market-engagement, commissioning and re-procurement exercise, and to factor in the current high degree of risk and uncertainty in the construction and housing repair sector, with the new service to commence no later than 1st July 2026.
