Legal Justification

This Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) relates to temporary short-term contract agreements to provide common and domestic Repairs, Maintenance and Void services. Having sought advice, to meet our immediate and medium term statutory requirements as a Registered Social Landlord, these public contracts shall be awarded under Regulation 33 (1) (c) utilising the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice ‘for reasons of extreme urgency’. Glasgow West Housing Association (GWHA) as procuring agent for Glasgow West Housing Association, and subsidiary Glasgow West Enterprises intend to enter into a temporary short-term agreement to provide Common & Domestic Repairs, Maintenance and Void services with 2 contractors (MP Group UK Ltd, and Timetra Ltd); who have the capacity and a proven track record of working flexibly, and collaboratively with other Registered Social Landlords, to meet our short and medium term service needs. This stage 1, short-term agreement will additionally serve as a ‘pilot’ marketplace test model for a maximum period of 12-months. This will allow time to engage with the wider sector, and other potential service providers for our common & domestic repairs, maintenance and void services beyond this initial stage 1 period. This informed decision based on; the ongoing marketplace uncertainty reflective of the post-Brexit economic environment, the far reaching impact of the war in Ukraine, recent challenges faced by RSL’s relating to similar services, and the current cost-of-living pressures; while concurrently seeking to ensure effective continuity of our services. Comprising stage 2 of this process, over the next 12-months, GWHA intend to undertake an holistic business and sector wide strategic review of our common & domestic repairs, maintenance and void strategy. This process will commence 2023 Q1 with a target effective date contract date of 1st April 2024. We will be issuing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to ingather marketplace intelligence and views on a range of issues in connection with the future direction of these services, and look forward to what is considered critical sector feedback at that time.
