Through the eventual tender exercise Plumlife will develop an approved panel of Interior Designers who can bring a refreshing and complimentary touch to our show homes throughout the North West.

The eventual contract will cover the delivery of core self-service functionalities including: secure customer authentication; ability to view and update personal details and preferences; access to rent statements and arrears; raising, tracking and managing repair requests with appointment booking; submitting and updating Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) data; accessing documents from the document management system; secure two-way messaging and reminders; reporting anti-social behaviour and environmental issues; and providing feedback and survey responses. The solution must integrate in real-time with our existing systems, comply with accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG), and meet security and data protection requirements. The partner will be expected to provide implementation, integration, testing, training, and post go-live support services, with a roadmap for future enhancements to extend functionality beyond the MVP.
