EEM Void Property Services Framework

Efficiency East Midlands Ltd (EEM) is a not for profit consortium which establishes and manages a range of framework and dps agreements. Our membership has now grown to 198 public sector organisations including housing associations and ALMO's, local authorities, NHS trusts, education providers, emergency services, government agencies and charities. EEM have also established a formal collaboration with 3 like-minded procurement consortia - Westworks, South East Consortium and Advantage South West. EEM are conducting this tender exercise to procure a Void Property Services Framework. The framework will be tendered and awarded based on the following core service lots: Lot 1 - Void Property Cleaning and Clearing Lot 2 - Void Property Security Services Lot 3 - Total Void Property Management Services Each lot described above has 6 geographical sub-lots as described within this notice.

The new framework will provide EEM Members with a responsive solution to bring void/empty properties back to an acceptable condition in accordance with Contracting Authority internal re-let standards and policies.

The rapid and efficient turnaround of properties is essential for Contracting Authorities to provide homes to their tenants as quickly as possible and maximise revenue allowing them to ensure properties and neighbourhoods are sustainable. Quality is also key, therefore Contracting Authorities are looking for Contractors who can deliver efficiently and to a high standard.

The framework also includes a void property security solutions lot. Security solutions by means of installation, monitoring and responsive security services to prevent trespass, unauthorised access, vandalism, and theft whilst properties remain void or while awaiting demolition.

Finally, the framework will have a third lot offering members a total void property management solution. Through this Lot EEM are trying to provide Contracting Authorities a full turnkey approach to their void property management (minus any repairs and maintenance), ensuring a smooth and efficient service to meet their individual turnaround times. It is intended that Contracting Authorities will utilise Lot 3 where multiple services are required and where Contracting Authorities would like one Contractor to manage all their void property requirements under one contract and whilst this is the intention, there may be occasions when a Contracting Authority wishes to call off one single service that is only covered by Lot 3.

Up to six Contractors will be appointed to each of the geographical lots covered by the three core lots. Contractors MUST be able to provide services in at least three of the sub regions (Counties) covered by the geographical sub-lot.
