In 2019, the board at Sutton Housing Partnership (SHP) took the decision to deliver repairs in house and took the first steps in April 2020 by ending the contract with its current provider, and setting up a repairs team to undertake reactive repairs services to residents.
SHP wishes to set up a Framework for Voids and Repairs (supply chain) across five LOTS to support the SHP repairs team, working in partnership to deliver excellent service to residents. There could be up to five contactors on each Lot.
