HCC10/22- Provision of Housing Management Services for Adult Disability Service Supported Living Property Portfolio

Hertfordshire County Council ('The Council') is seeking to procure a single Provider to service and manage 53 properties owned by The Council and used by Adult Disability Services for supported living for adults with disabilities. The current properties are listed on Appendix A of The Specification. The number of properties is for the initial agreement- but is expected to fluctuate during the course of the contract duration. Properties may be added or removed from the portfolio during the term of the contract. The Housing Provider is required to be a registered Social Landlord regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing and must comply with the requirements of that body in relation to the three economic standards. Housing Providers must have a rating with the Regulator of not less than V2 (Financial standing) and G2 (Governance) and have no outstanding Regulatory Judgements against them.

The Contract Period for the Management Agreement (the Contract) is an initial period of Five (5) years with the option to extend by a further Two (2) years. Therefore, the maximum duration of this Contract could be Seven (7) years. The Lease term will reflect this. The total value of this Contract over the maximum 7 year contract period will be approximately £16.9m For the avoidance of doubt, the estimated annual value of the Contract will be approximately GBP 2,100,000.00- However, in terms of the contract value to the provider this would be approximately GBP 500,000 per annum from the Management and Overhead figure.
