Description
The Council's venture partner NPS Norwich Ltd.'s property services team (NPS) manages the maintenance and repair of the authority's social housing property portfolio. that comprises of approximately 18,500 (including approximately 3,000 leasehold properties) conventional low and high rise properties with reinforced concrete stairways, walkways and landings, system built properties, concrete framed high rise flats, timber framed dwellings and other properties of miscellaneous types of construction. In order to maintain the property stock in good condition it is necessary to develop an ongoing programme of property assessments, repairs and maintenance as appropriate. This forms the Planned Works stream. It is also necessary at times to be prepared to respond quickly and effectively to urgent situations where properties have been subject to flooding, structural failure, subsidence, fire, damage as a result of severe weather and the effects of poor ground conditions (e.g., solution features, chalk workings) etc. This forms the Responsive Works stream. A 4-year contract expired on 31 July 2021 and as the new contract arrangements were pending a procurement process, it was necessary to cover the service until that can be awarded. A variation was made to extend the current contract with the incumbent supplier to 30 September 2021 and this was done via an exemption from contract procedure rules process.
