Your Housing Group was formed on the 2nd April 2012 following the merger of Harvest Housing Group and Arena Housing Group. The merger has created a new Group with a combined stock of around 32,000 properties comprising general needs, leasehold, sheltered and supported homes across the North-West, Yorkshire and the Midlands. Housing and Neighbourhood Services are delivered by locally based communities comprising Your Housing Group, Your Derwent & Solway, Your Eaves Brook, Grove Village, Headrow, Leasowe, Your Moorlands, Your Partington and Tung Sing.
Our mission is “transforming your lives and your communities” through creating strong and sustainable communities where people flourish and we are committed to giving outstanding service that comes naturally.
The quality of the Fire Risk Assessments that we carry out is therefore of paramount importance in ensuring the safety of our tenants and leaseholders. The area covered by Your Housing Group will be split into a number of Lots and we are seeking to appoint a Consultant to each Lot. Subject to pre-qualification, a Consultant could be invited to tender for and be awarded more than one of the Lots. Only Consultants who can carry out Fire Risk Assessment Services with directly employed staff to the highest possible standards and can demonstrate to the satisfaction of Your Housing Group a proven track record in the satisfactory delivery of these Services should consider applying.
Applicants will be required to complete a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) and the evaluation of this PQQ will establish those companies that have pre-qualified and been selected to tender.
The successful Consultant(s) must be able to show a commitment to providing effective services that provide value for money to Your Housing Group and the occupiers of their properties.
The proposed contract period will be 2 years commencing on a date to be agreed in early 2014 and with the option for subsequent annual extensions to this initial period up to a further 3 years, all subject to provisions for earlier termination including a break clause and renewals based on meeting and maintaining Key Performance Indicators.
Your Housing Group reserves the right to withdraw from this procurement procedure at anytime without awarding a contract. Your Housing Group and/or its advisors shall not be liable for and will not pay any costs in respect of the preparation of any application and tender submission of any applicant or bidder whether they are successful or unsuccessful and all applicants and bidders are to be responsible for all of the costs and expenses they incur as a result of participating in this procurement process irrespective of whether the procedure is completed or is abandoned without any appointment. An applicant shall be deemed to have unequivocally accepted this as a condition precedent to participation in this procurement process.
