Trust, Bield and Hanover (Scotland) Housing Associations intend to enter into a Framework Agreement for the provision of Day to Day responsive repairs, void property works, package repairs, maintenance and or improvement works, out of hours emergency works and IT interface requirements. The Works are to be divided into three Lots, East, North and Central Scotland and one contractor will be appointed to each Lot. The Associations are not for profit housing providers and are registered social landlords based in Scotland. The three housing associations have housing stock in several areas of Scotland. The Associations specialise in the provision of housing for older people and also provide mainstream residential housing. A small number of Care Homes may also be included within the contract.

The three Associations have already entered into a successful joint procurement for the Day to Day etc works to their properties in the west of Scotland and now wish to enter into a similar arrangement for their properties in the rest of Scotland. Further information on the Framework requirements is given in the Pre Qualification Questionnaire.
