Description

Portsmouth City Council (the 'Council') is undertaking a Soft Market Testing (SMT) exercise as part of a strategic review of delivery options for the provision of repairs & maintenance and gas servicing across its managed building assets. The Council is responsible for managing a portfolio of properties that require regular repairs and maintenance, along with gas servicing to ensure safety, compliance, and efficiency to Council properties. The Council currently have three separate contracts in place for Gas Servicing and Repairs & Maintenance across Council managed assets, that are due to expire on 31/03/2026 - o Term Service Contract for the Servicing, Maintenance and Compliance (Gas, M&E and Buildings) - approximate Value of Contract - ?7M per annum o Housing Repair and Maintenance - PO1 to PO5 (on Portsea Island and commercial properties) - approximate Value of Contract - ?20M per annum o Housing Repair and Maintenance - PO6 to PO9 (off Portsea Island and commercial properties) - approximate Value of Contract - ?20M per annum The Councils options appraisal will consider the merits of both in-sourced and out-sourced delivery models in delivering the council's strategic objectives, addressing emerging risks & opportunities and, vitally, addressing resident needs.
